戴安娜的公共小花园

含饴弄孙好幸福


温哥华西区民宅深幽处有一个静静的布满荷叶的活水湖。湖的东面由好多个之字形木栅栏围着的高尔夫球场。



湖的南面,隐隐露出传说中的西区豪宅。而湖的北面,是一栋L形的低收入者居住的廉租屋公寓。



我的朋友海伦以前就住在那里。今天她执意要带我去看看她的前邻居戴安娜,“你一定要见见她,你和她都是癌症幸存者。你少了一只乳房,她少了一条腿。而且你们都非常热爱生活。”


戴安娜二十三岁那年得了癌症,锯掉了左腿。她的男友带着爱情飞走了。治疗一结束,坐上轮椅的戴安娜首先去读VCC读了一些课程有公共演讲等,随后她就开始了义工和慈善生涯。她去小学辅导学生,去教会奉献,去社区参加活动。几十年如一日。



她 的生活自理是无需详叙的。她有着西方社会残疾人常见的自信自强自立的精神气。她开车购物,平时把屋里屋外收拾的一尘不染。她在邻居的帮助下自己装修房子。 她住在一楼转角处,门外有一块L形的公共地,她把这块空地整出个雅致秀美的小花园。"我的小花园是公共的,“她说。”供此公寓的租户邻居们欣赏小坐“。



当戴安娜得知我在社区学画画,她邀请我进了她的起居室,告诉我墙上每一幅画每一件艺术品的来历。

戴安娜真是个艺术家,在她的公共小花园里,她把每一件看似破旧的没用的东西都变成艺术品。

老祖母留下的铜水壶长出紫花绿叶。



到曼尼托巴探亲侄子,把他扔掉的旧靴子千里迢迢背回温哥华,赋予新的生命。



没人会留下这样的破碗,在戴安娜的花园里,却那么引人注目。



戴安娜没有结过婚,当她听到我有孙儿时,常带微笑的脸上闪过意思寂寥:我从来没有过过婚姻生活,不知道是怎么样的。但是我有小动物陪伴。我有一条狗,一只猫,两只鸟。



戴安娜的另一个鸟笼。



士兵?也是家庭一员。



我们坐在她的花园藤椅上聊天,屋前的地砖,是戴安娜坐着轮椅自己铺的。她坐在地上,用橡皮锤使劲敲打,一块块铺的平平整整。



我说我敬仰她,戴安娜说她敬仰大自然敬仰生命,她说,这就是生活,我没什么可抱怨的,我时刻觉得自己应该感恩。



戴安娜,你是我朋友 海伦的女神,从今天起,你也是我心目中的女神。

请给我们的画和照片加加分哦,谢谢啦~

Sorry, there is something wrong with the operating system of my cell phone,the SOUGOU system doesn't work again, I cannot type Chinese now. Sorry about that. I am taking CPA program now, and my taxxation instructer L, who works in the government, teaches as a PT instructor and also has a previate compamy, tells us that she has a daugther who is 19 and is a disability. For this course is about how to calculate tax payable and return, so she mentions the benefits she can get from the government again and again. It is hard to imagine the situation of her family if they live in China. She is a single mother, and the age is same with me, almost in fifties. So I appreciate Canada in which the disability can live like a normal person. I am inspired very much by the instructor's story, and I work harder on my course and in my life.
 
Sorry, I would like to correct the age of my instructpor, which is over forty, not fifty. I feel so lucky that I can in such a great country with my son. I am happy if my son is happy even though I have to restart again from the ground floor. I feel happy and luck that I can return back school again to update my professinal skills, and have an opportunity to return back my career, it is impossible if I didn't move to Canada. I appreciate what I have!

感谢楼主的精彩故事,我个人认为首先要感谢政府的扶弱的社会体质,然后是女主人公的自强不息的精神。
:wdb10: 你的观点我完全赞同,社会制度决定了百姓的生活,我的一个(继子)儿媳妇就是做残疾人服务的,加拿大在这方面做得非常好,残疾人才会充满自信才会学习自理。经常在社区看到眼神坚定的残疾人在义工带领下活动。

yes, me too. I appraciate living in Canada after I retired from China, so that I have a life totally different from my colleagues. Needless to mention the disability people who can enjoy their lives as healthy people do, because we are all in Canada!
