(2015-02-21 Bonnie):

Dear friends:

This last trip to Taiwan was the fist time I had traveled alone in many years. I have to admit, it was pretty freeing! But despite the day-to-day freedom to plan out my own itinerary based on my own timing, my mind kept wondering back to those at home -- a paralyzed mom who needs around-the-clock care, and a husband dealing with his own chronic health issues. I'm grateful to my brother and daughter who helped me take care of them while I was away so that I could come home and see them both doing well.

After getting all the "business" out of the way on my first day back, I was able to devote the rest of my time for friends and play. I had the chance to meet up with groups of friends ranging across my childhood to young adult. Every night was filled with old friends, laughter, food, wine, karaoke and night markets.

I was also honored to visit a former elementary school classmate, Cooper. Over the years, Cooper has become a successful businessman who has built an interesting company called Intelligent Inspection Control. If you're interested, you can check it out here: http://74.220.207.117/~iicccom/iicc/

I also spent a memorable day at a 19th century shipping port in northern Taiwan. To get there, we had to take a ferry across the river to a wharf called Dansui. There, we had an amazing seafood outdoor lunch in a romantic building, oversee 观音山 Buddha Mountain. Fort San Domingo, an important historical asset of Taiwan. The fort was built in 1628 by the Spanish, rebuilt by the Dutch and later served as the British consolation office. Oxford College, Missionary Hospital, Aletheia University, so many surprises I've never known these places were existing.

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget. Thanks to all my friends that made my trip so memorable, and special gratitude goes to my colleagues who helped hold down the fort while I was away.

Love,

Bonnie

在这雜乱的心情，雜乱的一切下打開我的心给你們寫信，讓我的悲伤有一個出路。人生縂有風和雨，但我的一生從小到现在，没有大風也没有大雨，怎麽一夜间就變天了？妈妈一向最担心，最怕的事情还是發生了！CT確認是右边脑梗塞，左边完全瘫痪，还好语言能力恢复得很好，因脑受损，所以思路很乱，像小孩一般，纠正她後，她就记起来了。每天復健是我最不忍的时候，復健师还要回過来安慰我。。。妈妈宛如莫生人，很容易的事她都做不了。

妈妈今年85，弟弟，弟婦有三個孩子，24，22，15，都很乖。我和中明只有一個女儿，她给了我們两個外孙女，8歲6歲。家中每個人对老太太一向尊敬，孝顺，老太太对每個小辈也都照顾週到，有时连我都會吃醋！我們姐弟感情深厚，他家在旧金山机场附近，我在东湾，和他距离一個小时。我們都已有心裏準備，不忍，心痛是难免的，这條漫漫长路我們一家伴着妈妈慢慢走，如果她能好起来，是我們的福气，如果只能活在床上，我們尽量讓她--服。生命的繁華和喧嚣，每個人到最後也不都是黄土一堆罷了。谢谢大家的支持，皷力。

妈妈出生江南，聽着这一首歌又难控制我的淚。。。

夢里江南是一片看也看不完的景，是一首唱也唱不完的歌，是一段了也了不完的情。煮一壺老酒细细品嘗。。。。。。

嗨！陳着滬，不知你還记得我吗？郭明明，我們同在司珍老师班上，一到四年级？好高兴能够看到每個熟悉又陌生的名字，畢業50年後同學能再相聚是人生中相當難得的事, 每位同學在世界各個角落，在工作時，在生活時，走着走着怎麽一瞬間青春已是回憶了，有時讓自己有十秒二十秒那一刹那看满天繁星，看月，看花，看故人的记憶回來，就够了。很遗憾我不能参加這次的聚會。I had a bunion surgery on my right foot six weeks ago, as a result that the joint has a little less motion compared to the other foot, I've seen my doctor yesterday, he advised for another 6-8 weeks for recuperation, therefore, I won't be able to make this year's re-union, but we will have a trip to China in March 2012, I would love to make a stop in Taipei if anyone wants to have a mini re-union at the time?

I look forward to hearing from everyone and to know more about your corner of the world!

Love and best wishes,
Bonnie Yang（郭明明）

9-15-2011 From Hoover Chen (陳着滬) :

Dear Bonnie,

Hope you get well from bunion surgery soon. It is a shame that you can't come back to Taipei this time when the weather should be super.

Please let me know when you plan to stop in Taipei ahead of time so there could be a mini reunion. My own plan is yet uncertain after Dec 2011.
I might NOT be in Taipei as I am now.

Best Regards

Hoover Chen

郭明明,

真是高興收到妳的email。很抱歉小1到小4男生不同女生玩，桌上過界還被打。幸好妳提醒了。不然我真不有印象了。

司珍老师是三到四年级。一到二年级是羅慕堂老师？

這次王而久、王太五都是近五十年來都沒聯繫的四乙班友。
唐理民、楊彬及楊申龍倒有幸會過數面。

祝好，希望以後有機會能見到！

Dear classmates:

I'm going to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reminisce with my classmates from 50 years, reading through the entries in the new created website, so many of you have lived such interesting lives and given so much, I was touched by the bits of advice several of you offered, I thought no one will ever remember that little girl was always the last on teacher's favorite list. But situation has changed! now I'm always the favorite one on my friends list!!

I'd like to share this poem with you, it's called "Reunion" and seems like a fitting end to this weekend:

This perfect time
stands still,
is present like a crystal,
burning - the years,
like birds,
flock together...
years with feathers flying,
so light
that joy leaps,
quick as love,
or rabbit's pulse
in the snow.

Have a great weekend

Bonnie (郭明明)
