We celebrate my oldest brother - Sam's 60th birthday on last
Sunday. His family prepared a great dinner and we really enjoy the atmosphere,
the food, the service, and the love that we've shared on that special evening.
The following short writing is my blessing which I wrote it for my brother's
birthday.
大哥:
今天是您的大日子。六十大壽,論語有云:「三十而立、四十而不惑、五十而知天命、六十而耳順。」現代人多半可活過耳順之年。孔子謂耳順,是指一個人能明辨是非、更能判斷真假。在此祝賀大哥您耳聽八方、順享天年。
在我心裡,大哥是多才多藝,能動也能靜的。您能把六個弟弟一併騎在一架單車上、由浮台的一邊潛泳到另一邊、由小清游泳至大清、也能一個人帶着一個藍球到花墟球場組織起兩小隊來比賽。此之謂能動。您也能拿起口琴獨奏一曲,令人心曠神怡、也能獨自摸索如何演奏手風琴。這是能靜。
無論您是富是貧、是處順境還是逆境,我永遠都在您的身旁。
弟
