「你拍小孩和我媽就好。右邊那兩個是我的小孩，左邊是我弟的，她只有一歲半。
我弟和他老婆相戀十幾年，但因為我媽反對，一直無法結婚；後來是先有了寶寶，我媽才勉強接受。他們新婚沒幾個月就生了，我還記得那天是禮拜天。
「誰知道禮拜二，弟妹去看過小孩不久就突然昏倒，急救無效。她那天曾嘔吐，法醫在氣管裡找到蔬菜，判定是意外死亡。我弟弟至今仍難以釋懷，休假都會帶著弟妹愛吃的東西，去陽明山看她。

“You can take a picture of my mom and the kids. Those two on the right are mine, and the little one on the left is my younger brother’s. She is only 1 and half years old.

My brother and his wife had been in relationship for more than a decades. My mom didn’t approve them to get married until she was pregnant. My mom finally accepted it. She gave birth to the baby girl a few months after their wedding. I remember that was a Sunday.

“On Tuesday, all of a sudden, she fainted after visiting the baby. Emergency aid didn’t help at all. Earlier that day, she vomited. Forensic check told us there was vegetable in her trachea. It was an accident. My brother couldn’t accept it even till today. Every weekend, he brings her favorite food to visit her in the pagoda in Yangmingshan.

“She doesn’t know she lost her. She also calls me Mama, just like the sisters.”
