分類: 我自己的東西

Even thought, it has been almost 11 months, I feel that I only put up Christmas decoration two or three months ago.  I would say time flies fast as the kids get older.

When there was no kids, every day was my own time or just with my love one.

Right now, time is around the kids, sports and music practices, birthdays, study etc.  There is no need to remember what day it is.  All I need is to remember what day of the week is.  Therefore, time is counted by week.  Yes, there is 52 weeks a year but I feel that there is 52 days a year.

It is amazed how fast time flies.

I truly believe everyone has a biological clock.  This clock is different between one another.

For me, the most obvious change is the skin.  I generally have little burn or small cut from things I do.  As far as I can remember, the skin never left scars.  For the past few years, I notice that scars stay and never fade away.  The skin does not heal as nice and fast as it used to be.

我相信每個人的身上都有一個生理時鐘. 每個人的時鐘都不一樣.

對我來說, 四十歲以後身上最明顯的改變是皮膚. 我是個容易受傷的人. 各式各樣的小傷從電腦到紙張, 很多時候我都不知道這傷是從哪來的. 以前這些傷痕在好了以後, 便不容易查覺. 近幾年來, 受傷後還需要擦藥和貼 OK 繃來保護它, 不然會一傷再傷, 好得慢. 幾個月後, 這些疤痕還可以看得出是較淡的顏色. 傷痕恢復的速度比以前慢得多.

I just found out that my big brother has pancreatic cancer.  The doctor announced that he may only have three months to life.  I called him, “big brother”, because he is the oldest among my generation in the family tree.  Frankly speaking, I do not know him every well.  He generally did not attend in the family gatherings.  He seems to have his own way.

A friend of mine passed away few months ago from liver cancer.  It seems that it is getting common to see cancer at younger ago.  What is the cause of the problem?  Forget about last century, do we actually live better even comparing with people as close as last generation?  With the advancement we have in medial technology, do we actually outlive our parents?  Something is wrong with what we eat and live.

Best wish to my bug brother.  With the odd and statistics, I do not wish that he may be able to overcome cancer but to live with dignity and happiness in rest of his life.
