１５歲的莉莉亞住在俄羅斯的貧困郊區，夢想能與母親安穩度日

莉莉亞的母親與她的新男友打算搬去美國展開新生活，臨走前告訴莉莉亞會盡快接她過去

她每天殷殷期盼著，然而等到的，卻是一封法律信函：社工人員告訴她，她的母親寄來了一封信與她斷絕關係。

她被迫搬到一間破敗又沒電沒暖氣的地方。傷心欲絕之下，莉莉亞對生命變得孤獨絕望。她唯一的朋友是一個小男孩弗洛狄亞。

他們一起玩吊單槓、一塊幻想，一同建立了一個「家」，幻想這是夢想的起點而彼此是家人、幻想他們可以開始新生活。

 

Dear Shun-Hsien, Su-Fen, Chueh-Lin, and Yi-Wei,

Thank you for your very kind letter. You must be very excited to have your daughter come back home after such a long time. Thank you for your bravery and sharing her with us.

It was truly our pleasure that Angela spent a year with our family. We care for her very much and will greatly miss her.

You are right of course. Angela has changed quite a bit this year. Some of that she would have done at home with you too I am sure. She likes to be silly and joke about things, she has a very good sense of humor. Angela also knows when it is time to study and be serious. You are right her confidence has grown very much this year. She is not afraid to say her opinion even when we don’t agree but she is always polite and respectful about it. Angela is a strong girl and will stand up for herself while still being kind. I have a great deal of respect for her. I hope that you are not disappointed about the changes that you will see. Angela has become somewhat Americanized but still remains very Taiwanese at her core. She loves you and her country very much.

You should be proud that she did very well in school. Angela also worked hard on other activities such as community service work, sports and learning to sew and do needle work. She is turning into a women and does not mind wearing a dress (although not her first choice) or wearing Jewelry and make-up and she likes to shop.

She is looking forward to being home and seeing all of you. It was very hard to say goodbye this morning. We think of her as our daughter now and I hope she thinks of us as her American family.

One day we would love to visit and meet all of you the ones responsible for such a wonderful young lady. I hope that if you would ever like to visit the US that you would come stay with us.

Angela wrote each one of us cards that were very sweet and brought tears to our eyes.

Please have her call us when she arrivals so we know that she is safe.

 

Our love,

Martin, Laurie, Mike and Marissa (Mike’s girlfriend)

火車上AKIRA跟一枚可愛大方四歲小男孩互動大爆笑

當小男孩學他講淡水的錯誤發音被媽媽矯正後

從此AKIRA就一直想學好唸淡水這二個字

意外地要爬山……

小時候爬太～多有陰影，看到傻眼

但還是硬著腳指頭爬完它

坐在上面很酷，坐愈久愈想擁抱涼風縱身躍下，就不用走下山了！

 

 

九份老街

 

 

　

 

吃好多東西還有能看到九份全景的阿柑姨芋圓，超讚的啊

美景讓時間都停止了

只是天氣太溼熱不好受

 

 

１０：００晚餐－－－天母『客棧熱炒』

 

 

我們已很累了還是開車去天母的台灣熱炒店

大家本來不餓，菜一上來卻猛吃

AKIRA打到日本給另二位我們也認識的女生朋友讓我跟芳敘敘舊

ERICA好驚訝他來台灣玩呢

 

因某些狀況

AKIRA來我家住

媽媽準備乾淨房間給他睡

你能想像有一個跟蛋差不多大小的生命正在你肚子裡嗎

NO, SHUT UP, IMPOSSIBLE！

不，無法！
