Ice Bucket Challenge (冰桶挑战) 前些年在美国以至全世界搞得风风火火,全民皆冰。当年女儿校排球队的教练们都被孩子们甜蜜复仇,一个个浇成了落汤鸡。于此同时,ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis )也得到全世界广大人民的了解与认知。但多数人并不知道这场声势浩大的善举后面还隐藏着一个凄美的爱情故事。现在就由四嫂口述,爪四哥执笔,把这个故事记录下来。当然,爪四哥在笔录时尽情地放飞了浪漫的风筝,let it fly all the way to 爱的伊甸园......
我们这位痴情的丈夫,爱的守护者,也可以稍稍抚平创痛的心灵。象他每年如一日所做的那样,在旭日东升彩霞漫天的早晨,登上记载着他们恋情的离家不远处的玫瑰丘(Rose Hill),遥望着天际的临界,温柔地告诉他的爱妻:亲爱的,你交给我的任务己完成差不多,但我会继续努力把这人间的事办好。等着我,I am coming soon。
附录:ALS 简介 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
