I post 3 pictures sent by Alice and Michael when they visited our parents/grandparents to commemorate Mom's first anniversary day.

梦游外婆家 － 吴一平

Commemorate Dad

These jpegs are from Yuan's e-mail in momory of our Dad he wrote in 1986. I put them here for two major reasons:


1) keep them permanent at the central site.
2) encourage more feedbacks, comments, and additions to further enrich this contents.


Wu Hong Oct. 20, 2007

大三下刚放春假时，我到梁哥哥在新店的家，硕平姐匆忙来告诉我们爸爸病重了。我搭当晚夜车奔向高雄，看到爸微弱无奈的躺在床上，一个一向钢强的人无助的看着我。他看到我难过，他自己也很内疚。不久，子疰带着雷志荣医师来看爸爸，雷医师走后,　爸很不高兴的发了脾气，显然是因为对雷医师不满，再加上自己着急。到了下午我们商量后经过爸妈的同意，决定送爸到民众诊疗院。于是，妈忙着收拾东西，我背着爸从家里上了何司机的车，到医院后再背着爸，送到二楼病床。当晚爸要我写信把病情告诉荣总的耳鼻喉科主任医师荣大夫，从此爸就无法再开口讲话了，也没能够离开医院回到家里了。荣大夫也没有回信。那时是１９７３年４月。
