一生为友 (ZT:西西妈推荐)

看到西西妈上来了,很高兴,转贴一份西西妈推荐过的文章:

一生为友

女儿送给她爹地的一个贴在冰箱上的圆形饰物,图案上,宁静的湖边倒映着岸边的树木,空中有振翅飞翔的雁儿,上面有着简单的英文诗句:「爹地─我的父亲、我的向导、我的力量、我的朋友。」

最后一句「我的朋友」,触动了我的心弦,与孩子一生成为亲密的朋友,多么美好。与孩子的关系胜过工作、应酬、运动、嗜好……,有一天,成绩、名次、地位、名利都将成为过去,但与孩子之间爱的交流将会永存。

成人的面子及骄傲是拦阻孩子与父母亲近的墙垣,父母也会犯错,若及时向孩子道歉,身教会给孩子带来极大的影响。丈夫与我因为错怪女儿,也曾向她们道歉;以往丈夫对大女儿管教过严,她在大学时曾提及此事,丈夫向她道歉后,在「一对一」的亲子时间极有耐心地陪她逛街购物、替她提购物袋,后来她对友人说:「将来我要嫁给像我爹地一样的男士,只是要更罗曼蒂克一些。」

小女儿上中学时,一次我们开车经过一个地方,她突然对我说:「妈咪,你记得吗?」我想起来,她小学时,我们去修车,等待期间,我与她步行几个街口到麦当劳速食店,我们坐在店外院中树下的桌旁,吃着热腾腾的炸薯条沾番茄酱,听鸟儿啁啾、观车辆行人,这温馨的一刻在她记忆中留下深刻的印象。
