一些小感想。

前些日子看報紙轉載高錕太太的一篇專訪，讀完後覺得感動。

所記得的一小段內容是：
『黃美蕓坦言，照顧高錕壓力不小，“因為你知道這個人以前是怎樣，這個病將他改變，以前那個人已經走了，不再在這裡，哭也哭過一段日子，現在習慣了，知道這個不再是以前那個人。”』

還有一篇則是李光耀接受《紐約時報》專訪時，談到他的妻子柯玉芝時，說了這麼一段話“I told her, ‘I would try and keep you company for as long as I can.’ That’s life. She understood.” But he also said: “I’m not sure who’s going first, whether she or me.”
不久之後妻子就過世了，在給妻子的哀悼文上，李光耀說到了與妻子一起讀書的時光，他們是如何相愛與相守，婚後的生活以及第一次、第二次中風的情節。我讀到這段：Her mind remained clear but her voice became weaker. When I kissed her on her cheek, she told me not to come too close to her in case I caught her pneumonia.
I assured her that the doctors did not think that was likely because I was active. When given some peaches in hospital, she asked the maid to take one home for my lunch. I was at the centre of her life.
和這段：
Every night she would wait for me to sit by her to tell her of my day's activities and to read her favourite poems.
Then she would sleep.
I have precious memories of our 63 years together. Without her, I would be a different man, with a different life. She devoted herself to me and our children. She was always there when I needed her. She has lived a life full of warmth and meaning.
I should find solace at her 89 years of her life well lived. But at this moment of the final parting, my heart is heavy with sadness.

讀完這些我在想，人生裡頭，大概只有遺忘和死亡，才能將兩個相愛的人分開， 是嗎？
