A Scary Moment . . . | 驚心一刻… | 惊心一刻…

Last night a few of us were in the alivenotdead office hanging out.  It was Angela's last night in H.K and after her dinner, she brought Keavin to hang with us at the office.  It was a lot of fun!  It is not very often that we get to play with a 2 year old, and Keavin is as adorable as a 2 year old boy can be.  We were all having a great time, Keavin was jumping up and down on the sofa while we were playing catch with him with a very tiny nerf football.  Some of my other friends were also up here for a visit, and we all took turns playing with Keavin and catching up with Angela before she returns to the States.  Keavin was sitting in one of our office chairs at one point.  One of us started to spin him around in the chair and he was having lots of fun.  I got to the chair and started to spin him around as well.  When I stopped the chair from spinning after a few moments, Keavin lost his balance and fell to the ground.  Smack!  Keavin has hit his head on our office floor.  He started to cry immediately and his mother rushed over to pick him up and comfort him. 

I didn't think it was so bad at 1st.  The chair was not very high off the ground and I could not see any bumps and bruises on Keavin's head after his fall.  But he kept on crying and after a while we all began to wonder Keavin might be really hurt!  We decided to take him to a hospital.  Late at night, myself, Angela, another friend, and Keavin, still crying, walking into the ER of the hospital.  I don't remember the last time I was so worried and scared.  I am not around kids much and the last thing I would ever want to see is Keavin getting hurt because he was playing with me and I didn't watch him properly.  All of us were very tense, as the ER waiting room is not one of the most friendly places you can be.  So many thoughts were going through my mind as I was watching my friend comfort her son calmly and patiently.  I have never heard a child cry so much and as time was passing, I grew progressively more worried and uneasy.

In the end, it turned out that Keavin was fine.  He finally stopped crying after some time and by the time he was on his way home his smile was coming back to his face.  I learned a few things from last night.  Life as we know it is very very fragile.  At any moment something could happen that can change its dynamics forever.  There is nothing greater and more pure than the love between a mother and her child.  And on a less serious note, I really need to be more careful around kids and should probably not have kids of my own anytime soon!

Take care Angela and Keavin!  You 2 should be asleep on the plane while I am writing this.  Hopefully I will see you guys again soon, minus the spinning chairs of course!

| 昨晚好幾個同事在alivenotdead辦公室，也是Angela在香港的最後一晚。晚餐後她帶了Keavin來，我們玩得很開心!很少有機會跟2歲的小孩玩，Keavin也非常可愛。我們用一個很小的足球來拋Keavin，於是他在沙發上竄下跳。其他幾個朋友來找我，我們輪流跟Keavin玩，找Angela聊天。Keavin那時站在一個椅子上，有人轉椅子把他逗得非常開心，我也過去轉椅子，過了一會椅子停止旋轉後，Keavin失去平衡摔倒了，砰!他的頭撞到了地板，於是大哭起來，Angela立刻沖了過來抱他起來安撫。

開始我沒想到後果嚴重，椅子離地面並不遠，Keavin的腦門後面也沒有起包或淤青。但他不停的哭，後來我們懷疑他真的受傷了，決定帶他去醫院。於是我、Angela、還有一個朋友帶著一直哭的Keavin去醫院掛急診。已經記不得上一次象這樣著急、害怕是什麽時候了。我跟小孩子接觸不多，很不願Keavin是因為跟我玩，沒被照顧好而受傷。在急診等候室我們都很緊張。看著我的朋友那麽冷靜又耐心地安撫她的兒子，我想了很多。從沒聽過小孩哭得這麽厲害，隨著時間過去，我越來越焦急和擔心。

最後醫生說Keavin沒什麽事。過了一會他不再哭泣，回家的路上又開始笑了。昨晚的事件讓我領悟了很多：生命象我們想象的一樣脆弱，任何時候都有可能發生改變命運的事情。世上沒有什麽比母親和孩子之間的愛更偉大更純潔的。還有一個不重要的啟示：跟小孩相處時我要更小心，或者暫時不要有自己的小孩!

保重，Angela和Keavin!我在寫這篇時你們倆可能正在飛機上睡著呢。希望很快再見面，當然不再轉椅子了!
