Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.
每年春天都會有一些野花在我每日上班的高速路旁的溝渠中盛開。
there is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
有一種獨特的藍色小花總能吸引我的目光。我注意到它只在早上的時間開放,下午的日光對它來說太溫暖了。大概有兩周的時間,我每天都能看到那些美麗的花兒。
A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
一周前,得知我丈夫的大姐患晚期腦瘤,我們很震驚也很傷心。她比我丈夫大20歲,不幸的是,因為年齡和距離的關系,我們沒有像我們所希望的那樣親密。我禁不住把那些可愛的藍色小花和我們同我丈夫的姐姐之間的關系聯系起來。我確信上帝已經給我們留下了一段時間來培育一些美妙的回憶,好讓它們每年都為我們開放。
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
是的,如果我再次看到那些藍色的花兒,你可以相信,我會停下來把它們移植到我的野花花園里。
