WatchingMeGo赤子情深

大人们不理解小孩子,他们总是认为孩子太小了,他们小小的脑袋里装不下什么东西,他们小小的心灵里也不会有太多的想法。但是只要大人们仔细观察,就会发现孩子们的“小”中承载着大人们难以想象的深情

倒不是布兰登不喜欢上学,他只是不想和我分开。我们,他与我,在他上学之前有过一些快乐时光。我们在游泳池嬉戏,在安静的早晨滑冰,我们也曾把街坊举办的每周一次的咖啡派对上馈赠盘中的食物吃掉了一半。而现在上一年级了,布兰登每天有五小时要琢磨我在干什么。

布兰登总是回家吃午饭,他是班上唯一不再教室里吃午饭的学生。可是一旦到了家,吃饱了,也拥抱过我了,他的眉毛就会轻轻地皱起来,脸上露出向往的神色--他想回学校去玩!于是我就走着送他回去,等他看到了认识的人再离开。有一次他告诉我,他会一直目送我,直到看不见为止,于是我便总是走得很快,从不回头。

有一天午饭后,我巴布兰登送回去时,他看到了一个朋友,就跟我吻别,蹦蹦跳跳地跑开了。我为他感到高兴,为他获得新的独立而庆祝,庆祝他从此进入了一年级社交圈。但是,我也不知为什么,离开时回头望了一眼。他就在那儿,操场上到处是孩子,在他周围叽叽喳喳,可他就站在那儿向我飞吻,下巴扬起,身体缩得小小的,脸上的表情很坚决但并不悲伤。布兰登勇敢地目送我离开,毫不害羞,充满了万分爱意。

突如其来地瞥见了儿子毫无遮掩的灵魂深处,我毫无准备,也从来没有哪本育儿书教过我。我的思绪跳到了十五年后,儿子打好行囊,他的小狗也老了,那时他说:“妈,把眼泪擦擦,我又不是出国。”所有
