我曾尋求耶和華,他就應允我,救我脫離了一切的恐懼。凡仰望他的便有光榮,他們的臉必不蒙羞。我這困苦人呼求,耶和華便垂聽,救我脫離一切患難」(詩篇三十四:四至六) 
	父親節對我來說是一個使我情感相當複雜的日子,為何有如此感受?原因可能是我對父親的愛認知和感受都很貧乏,甚至何謂「愛」?我亦無法表達。童年時,沒有感受到的就是愛,沒有看到的也都是愛,印象中整個童年都是活在懼怕和沒有安全感的環境中。從小就在一所基督教聖公會辦的學校就讀,在學校裡常常聽到:「神就是愛,神是我們的天父!」那是當時的我絕不可能接受的訊息。
	我是長子,還有兩個弟弟、一個妹妹和一個同父異母的弟弟。我的童年在基本上是沒有任何快樂的回憶,自有記憶開始,每天的家庭生活都是爭執和吵鬧,很少看見家人和睦相處,反而經常為了一些沒意思的小事而結怨多年,而且互不說話。我們是福州人,上一代爭吵的時候,都是用福州話對罵,從很小的時候,我已經不想聽和講這種方言,覺得非常困擾。
	媽媽是個長期病患者,我不知道她患的是什麼病?只知道她的雙眼不能完全闔閉。在日常的生活裡,我甚至不知道她是閉上眼睛,還是沒有閉上眼睛。她會毫無徵兆隨時隨地突然休克,失去知覺,有時又會突然撲倒在地上。記得有一次,媽媽在燒晚飯的時候,站立著失去知覺,手放在火水爐上燃燒著,她沒有尖叫,只是沒有感覺地站著,什麼反應也沒有,幸好伯父發覺有燒焦的氣味,才知道她已經失去知覺,隨後趕緊將她送去醫院。對媽媽的另一個印象,就是她常常哭泣,曾多次發現她躲在洗手間裡,偷偷地哭泣。印象最深刻的就是有一次,有一位員警來家訪,我才知道她曾經試圖在渡海小輪上跳海自殺,但是沒有成功。我完全沒有任何有關媽媽的笑容記憶與印象。	
	父親給我的印象就是時常充滿心事,每日放工回家的時候,我們就會相當緊張和憂慮。我只看見父親的愁眉苦臉,知道他大部份時間都不開心。父親生活非常節儉,很少看見他穿新衣服,所以我也沒有新衣服,校服和便服一齊穿用。但卻知道父親是一個相當有責任感和非常盡責的人,但不知何故?我感受不到他的愛,只感受到他的不快樂。
	小學六年級的時候,家裡發生突變,媽媽再次試圖自殺而被送入醫院。我非常清楚記得那天是農曆年二十八,家裡正在大掃除。媽媽離開世界的那一天是農曆年初二,當爸爸接到瑪麗醫院的緊急來電,帶我去醫院的途中,我祈禱求神不要讓媽媽離開,那是我第一次向我不認識的天父祈禱。當我們到達醫院時,看見媽媽已經被一片白布蓋著,已沒有任何氣息,護士對我們說:「她已經離世了。」	
	看著媽媽的遺體,我當時不知道怎樣形容心中的感受,直到現在也想不起當時的感覺。我沒有哭,只告訴自己神是假的,即使神是真的存在,也是個沒有用的神。只感到人與人之間太多問題和怨恨,我的心中不停地問神:「為什麼媽媽會離開我們幾個子女?如果天父有愛,為何世間充滿怨恨?」	
	在媽媽的喪禮中,長子要幫媽媽洗臉。我的個子不高,當和媽媽的遺體面對面的時候,只能用恐懼兩個字形容。往後的日子,家裡內的爭鬧也沒有停止,還時常給鄰舍的孩子們欺負,取笑我們說:「有爹生,沒娘教!」每次經過鄰舍,或碰見那些鄰居孩子的時候,常常給他們恥笑和咒罵,有時甚至給他們圍困,被迫聽他們的辱罵。因此,經常和他們打架,內心充滿很多怨恨。在學校裡不願跟同學交談,更不願提起自己的家事。	
	在唸中學二年級時,祖母吊頸自殺後,我們要搬遷,不能再住在原來的地方,家裡的每一個人都很惶恐。因父親要上班,最小的弟弟和妹妹要寄住在伯父家,由伯娘照顧。每次探望他們,就會聽到他們給同學欺負的消息,心中對世界的怨恨不斷地增加。爸爸在我讀中學五年級那一年再婚,因為後母不喜歡妹妹,經常在精神上虐待妹妹。我不想居留在家中,很想逃避所有的問題。中學畢業後,我和父親的關係跌到了冰點。	
	後來,我交了女朋友,以工作為藉口,常常故意早出晚歸,不想和家人碰面。直到有一天,因病提早下班,在巴士上看見一位女學生,覺得很面善,後來才發覺她原來是自己的妹妹。我逃避得太長久了,竟然不認得自己的妹妹,便躲藏在巴士上層的座位上,不讓妹妹看見自己偷偷地在哭泣。心中想起對妹妹的虧欠,罪惡感不停地湧現,開始思考我的人生,為何兄妹好像不是一家人?人生的方向是什麼?做人又是為了什麼呢?	
	父親一直都有出國夢,他為我籌備和安排在紐約唐人街與陌生人進行假結婚。但我在香港已有女朋友和工作,加上與父親的關係一向都不好,所以沒有聽從他的計謀。因我的不聽從,加劇了父子間的決裂,我甚至想從此了斷父子關係,或是離開這個充滿痛苦的家庭。最後,我選擇出國留學而拒絕了假結婚。	
	於是,找伯父幫忙,申請去加拿大留學,但伯父只是幫忙擔保,而不提供學費及生活上的支援,所以我要自付學費和生活費,還需要找工作賺錢來供養自己。很奇妙地,我竟然順利地得到加拿大的學生簽證,但經過當地的好朋友相勸和瞭解到實際情況後,我辦了美國旅遊簽證來美國。我來美國只有一個目的,就是拚命地工作來賺取和儲蓄日後的生活費和學費。	
	一九八九年七月四日離開香港來到美國,找到售貨員和中餐館的工作。由於沒有詳細地瞭解情況,只是憑電影中的情節,以為在美國工作非常容易,其實沒有工作簽証,打工是不合法的。因為過了截止註冊入學的日期,亦未能夠及時儲蓄到足夠的金錢留學,所以便沒有到加拿大讀書。在偶然的機會下,發現美國紐約市大學的學費比加拿大的大學便宜很多,所以就在紐約申請讀大學。	
	因為沒有親人擔保,所以在美國成為了非法移民。在美國,我遇到很多困難,例如:文化差異、種族排斥等,加上在香港的女朋友決定跟我分手,她的理由是看不見我們的將來。這對我打擊非常大,在遙遠的異鄉沒有朋友,孤身一人,人生好像走到低谷,看不見出路。	
	在人生的低潮中,思緒不斷浮現童年時的境況。內心掙紮和怨恨不斷加劇,沒有平安。在一個下雨天的黃昏,因雨勢太大,所以餐廳堂食沒有生意,但外賣生意相當火熱。老闆吩咐要幫忙送外賣,於是,在沒有雨衣的情況下送外賣。當時,我被雨水淋得全身濕透,在曼哈頓百老匯大道騎著腳踏車,途中有不少的計程車擦身而過,有時還會觸碰到身旁的計程車,外族司機也會用輕視的眼神向我回望。	
	腦海裡的怨恨突然爆發,情緒驟然失控,口中一直責罵神。罵祂為什麼要不斷地打擊我?在人生中不停地打擊,長大後也把我放在難堪的景況。於是,我竟然閉上眼睛,瘋狂地在百老匯大街騎著腳踏車橫衝直撞。我要挑戰神,說:「如果要取我的命,現在就來取我的命吧!」但很奇怪,竟然沒有事,只是病了幾天就復原了。	
	就在生病的時候,在住所發現了一張佈道會的傳單,佈道會的日期已經過了很久。因為我不相信有神,所以凡是基督教的傳單,一概不接。但是那一張傳單是一位滿臉笑容的少女遞給我的,感覺很特別,當她雙手把傳單遞給我的時候,感受到了她那充滿感染力的笑容,和那一份真誠,很渴望地希望我接受這個邀請,所以便把傳單收下沒有丟掉。可是我卻沒有參加那個佈道會,只是不經意地把這一份傳單隨意地放在一旁,竟然就在我生病的時候,無意中在枕頭下找回這張傳單,當時我心中孤寂的感覺非常強烈,所以看見那張傳單,就好想去教會認識些新朋友。(未完待續)

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
    old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
    She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Incredible pilot's-eye view pictures show what
    it is like to fly in the Red Arrows.

    The photos where taken from the cockpit of the iconic jets as the squadron trained over the skies of East Yorkshire.



    Team photographer SAC Hannah Beevers captured images from the backseat of Red
    10's jet - showing her comrades flying in formation.

    The shots show the Squadron flying over York Minster,
    the Humber Bridge and Humberside Airport before heading back to their
    base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.

    The Squadron is renowned for daring displays and brought
    the whole formation together for the first time this season just three weeks ago.


    The Red Arrows begin training for the forthcoming season almost
    as soon as the previous year has ended.

    Preparation starts with small groups of three or four aircraft formations and the formations grow in aircraft number as training progresses.

    My husband and i have been now ecstatic when Chris could deal with his reports because of the ideas he received out of the web page. It is now and again perplexing to just choose to be freely giving things that many some others might have been making money from. We consider we now have the blog owner to appreciate because of that. The most important illustrations you made, the easy blog menu, the relationships you assist to create - it's got many impressive, and it is making our son in addition to us believe that the subject is enjoyable, and that's particularly serious. Many thanks for the whole thing!
