<p align="left"><strong>几个月前，我还在和Steinway玩耍。妈妈的一个朋友给我们带来了一顶帐篷，我们就在帐篷里面玩。Steinway在外面，我在里面，我们互相拍打着。妈妈病了，他们在12月告诉妈妈她得了一种叫“癌症”的病。她要去医院大概一星期，当她回到家，她在床上躺了一段时间，有人过来照顾她。逐渐地，她可以起床了，不久就能回去工作。</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong></strong> </p>
<p align="left"><strong>她开始接受一种叫“放射治疗”的东西，每天都要一段时间。然后是放射性同位素，然后是化疗。化疗后她很不舒服，她躺在床上不想任何东西碰她——Steinway、我、被子、任何东西。好在几天后，她恢复过来了。大概就在这段时间，我开始觉得不舒服，我体重越来越轻，什么都不想吃。但我还是要陪着妈妈，她需要我，她很爱我。</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong></strong> </p>
<p align="left"><strong>一个月后的一天，妈妈从医生那高兴地回家了，她得到结果她已经清除癌细胞了。随着进一步的检查，情况会更明朗。与此同时，我知道我将要离开她了，我感觉越来越强烈，是PKD。多囊肾疾病，我的生母就是死于这种病，所以我有50%的几率也会带这种病。我从来没做过检查，因为妈妈不想知道。这种病是无法治愈的，做什么都于事无补，妈妈只有希望我没被遗传。但是，她知道了……我胃口开始更差，体重减轻到危险的地步。</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong></strong> </p>
<p align="left"><strong>所以，我躺在这里，我看见我前面有一条桥。我想走过桥去，因为我很受伤，我很累。但是如果我走了，我就再也看不到妈妈了，还有Steinway，我们是好朋友啊。我听见Steinway她在低声说：“去吧，玉米片，过桥去吧。你不在我会照顾好自己的。我永远都这么爱你，永远永远不会忘记你。”我向着桥走去，看到对岸有人。他们都很年轻，很开心，很健康，我想和他们在一起。但要我离开我认识的世界，离开爱我的人，我又很难选择。再向前走一步，我回头了，Steinway她在鼓励我，但我听见她在轻轻的哭泣。阳光照耀在桥上，我觉得没这么累了，身上的痛苦也慢慢散去。我向后看最后一眼，再看看我所爱的人，然后继续向前走去。我一生中是那么被宠爱，我死后也永远不会被忘记的。始终有一天，我会听见：“玉米片，是你吗”，然后妈妈会走过桥来，而我，会在一个角落里等她。</strong></p>

<p>这篇文章好几年前我曾经看过，当时看的泪流满面，昨天有个上海的朋友问我原文，多年前我朋友skytear翻译的版本我已经找到不到，她自己也说没保存，我找到原英文的链接，重新译成中文，文中最后几句仍然让我泪流满面，我希望多年以后，曾经离开过我的孩子，我最心爱的儿子也会在一个角落里等我，我们终能相见。。。。。（转贴请注明出处）</p>

<p>CORNFLAKE'S RAINBOW BRIDGE<br/>November 18, 1993 - September 7, 2001 </p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p>It was just a few months ago that I was playing with Steinway. One of Mom's friends had brought us a tent and we played in that tent. Steinway would get outside and I'd get inside and we'd poke at each other. Mom has been sick. They told her in December that she had something called cancer. She had to go to the hospital for about a week - and when she came home, she stayed in bed for a while and someone came to take care of her. But gradually she was able to get up and soon was able to go back to work. </p>
<p>She started something called radiation - every day for quite a while. Then radioisotope implants - then chemotherapy. She was so sick after the chemo - she'd lie in bed and didn't want anything to touch her - Steinway or me - a sheet - anything. But after a few days, her strength would start to come back and she'd be up again. It was about this time that I started to feel really bad. I kept losing weight and didn't want to eat anything. But I had to be there for her - she needed me so badly and loved me so much.</p>
<p>One day about a month ago, she came home from the doctors all happy - her cat scans had shown that there was no more cancer. While she had to have further lab tests and scans, things were looking up. And at this time, I knew she could go on without me and I felt this feeling come over my body - this PKD thing. Polycystic Kidney Disease - my mother died from that so there was always a 50/50 chance I would have it. I was never scanned because Mom never wanted to know if I had it. There was no cure - nothing that could have been done, so she just hoped. But now she knew also. My appetite fell farther - my weight slipped dangerously low.</p>
<p>So here we are - I am lying here and I see a bridge before me. I want to go over that bridge because I hurt and I'm so tired. But if I go, I'm not sure I'll see her again - and Steinway. We've been such good friends. I hear her murmuring to me - "It's okay, Cornflake. Go over the bridge. I can go on without you now. I'll always love you and never, ever forget you.". I step toward the bridge and I see others on the opposite side. They are all young and happy and healthy. And I want to be with them, but it's so hard to leave everything I've known, everyone who loves me. Another step - another look back - I hear her crying softly yet urging me to go. The sun is shining on the bridge - I feel less tired. My pain is dropping away. And I take one last look back at all I love and continue over the bridge to eternity. I was so loved in life - I will never be forgotten in death. And someday I'll hear, "Cornflake, are you there?" and my Mom will be coming over the bridge as I wait at the corner.</p>
