公婆的祝福

臺北宴客前兩個星期,某天晚上我突然收到一封簡訊,是婆婆傳來的,圖片裡是公公一筆一畫寫給我和老公的新婚祝福。公公生病後已經久未題字,加上手沒力氣,寫字會歪,據說我們後來看到的這張成品也已不是下筆的第一張,紅紙寫壞用完只剩白紙了。一撇一捺間仍可看出他費的氣力,字裡行間充滿對我們的期許,老公看到的第一時間熱淚盈眶。公公曾說我和老公的姻緣已不僅是千里一線牽,而比茫茫人海中相遇更為困難的,正是如何將美滿幸福維持下去,我和老公身為晚輩,當對這十十字用心體會珍惜。再次謝謝爸爸媽媽!

This calligraphy is a wedding gift by my father-in-law, even though keeping his hands steady has been a problem for him because of his sickness. It is not easy to meet someone and fall in love, but it is even more difficult to maintain the happiness. Audrey Hepburn once said, “If I get married, I want to be very married.” We (or at least I) will keep these words in mind, and thank you, my parents-in-law, for sharing your secrets to a happy marriage with us.
