清明節

１００年清明節

今年清明節我在高雄上班，二妹就配合我，從台中開車帶著二個寶貝女兒一起，提早一星期回來一起掃墓。

二妹在我們家中因為青黃不接，所以算是失學了，不過她自己努力用功，現在補習班經營的有聲有色，還有博士老師常就教於她。

（２００８年六兄妹在加州New Port Beach彩家）

二妹的三個女兒書都讀的很好，老大師範，老二政大，今年老三又繁星推上了醫學院，所以今年二妹一定要三女兒回來祭祖，以感謝父親在天之靈的庇佑。說來神了，在推繁星看來無望的時候，我要二妹帶小朋友回來家中的佛堂給祖先嗑頭，求祖先保佑。過了幾天，二妹打手機給我興奮地說老三繁星推上了，雖然我正在忙，但有這麼讓人高興的事，就算天大的事也擺下了，讓她高興的講個夠。

因為繁星推選上了，二妹一定要女兒回來謝恩，二家人也就在前一天晚上在台北集合，晚上聚餐熱鬧不在話下了。

第二天一早，我和二妹五點多就起來了，二個人看著窗外淅瀝瀝下著雨，又是寒流過境，於是我就提議不如我們延後一星期再去掃墓吧！但是二個人又已經起床了，也睡不著了，就在客廳吃早飯、泡茶，也難得二個人好好聊聊。

我聊到十幾年前到花蓮一個廟裡去牽亡魂，想問問爸情況怎麼樣了，二妹一邊聽一邊掉眼淚，當我說到爸爸亡魂出來回答一些好笑的事，二妹是又笑又流淚。唉！人世間都說父母親是欠子女的債，這輩子是來還債的，可是父母親走了之後，做兒女的一輩子都在追悔傷痛，只要一想起來就難過的不能自已，這樣說起來，究竟是誰欠誰比較多呢？

二妹自己開補習班，每天都很辛苦，渾身筋骨也是常酸痛，可是當她看到我在捶肩膀，馬上就過來幫我按摩肩膀，從以前到現在都是如此；而且不只是二妹，幾乎每一個妹妹都是這樣，我這老哥做的用台語說＂價值了＂。

（我的五個好小妹）

早上聊完了，二妹收拾桌子，我看她皺紋多了起來了，畢竟也不再年輕了，那一瞬間，自己突然感傷了起來，六兄妹結緣一輩子，好像再也沒有像從前的那幾十年了。心中突然想起葉慈一首詩中的句子：「yet for a reason，I could weep………」

Yet for a reason, I could weep……..在心中迴響。

二姐總是這樣，自己再忙再累，也先把身邊的家人照顧好。

幾年前回台灣，小麥當年還小。我身體不舒服，帶着小梅在家。二姐當天自己也病了，還發著燒，卻為了讓小麥開心硬要帶着出去玩。回來看到照片，二姐背了一路當年半大不小的小麥。看了我很是心疼。

Yet, for a reason, I could weep....and the reason is love.

Big Brother, Good Morning！

I am deeply appreciated your family which is full of love.
The most great thing in the world is love,
If the sky and the Earth would pass way,
but, love will not pass way, it will be lasting for ever.

I believe that those people who are brothers and sisters
and love each other recently,
they would meet again in the future,
as well as would reunite in the kingdom of Heaven.

May God bless your family
and mercy on the 2nd sister who has contributed a lot to her sisters.

Dear Big Brother,

I have learned that your original native place is Shandong province in China Mainland
although you were born in Taiwan.
Would you mind to tell us whether you have ever gone to Shandong
for visiting your original home town ?

The province of Shandong is a beautiful place, where I have ever traveled.
I have been to Qingdao, Jinan, Yintai, Taishan Mountain.
And I have visited to the home town for Confucius.

Qing Ming Festival is the time for memory of the ancestors,
I think that except your parents, most of your ancestors have rested in Shandong China.
Qing Ming Festival is also the time being thankful for those ancestors' contribution and grace giving.

Dear HOng Kong brother:

I've backed to home town Shandong several timew which you may find in 天涯行蹤in the Blog, as 濟南之旅etc..

慎終追遠，民德歸厚矣！古有明訓。我覺得節日一方面緬懷先人，另一方面大家可以在同一個祖先的精神領導或源頭下，一起聚會。

你在香港清明節有祭拜嗎？你的文筆這麼好，Blog要加油了。。
