Robert Horry給女兒的一封信

: Posted Jun 18 2011 9:50PM
: Dear Ashlyn,

親愛的Ashlyn,

: Your beautiful smile has always been my inspiration. Although I am the
: father, you were my teacher, my hope and incentive, and my role model -- to
: your brother Camron and mother, Keva, as well.
: Born with courage and determination, you confronted and overcame the
: challenges of 1p36 deletion syndrome, a rare and disabling genetic disorder.
: My admiration for you is only outdone by your dazzling smile, immortal in my
: heart.

你美妙的笑容永遠鼓舞著爹地。
雖然我身分是你的父親，但妳卻是我的導師、我的希望跟生活的動力
妳同時是我們全家人的榜樣。
出生帶有這種先天性遺傳疾病，妳卻帶著勇氣跟決心跟病魔對抗到底。
爹地想要讚賞妳什麼....但妳那吸引人的微笑已經說明一切。
並且永留爹地心中。

: I know you were constantly in pain, but you always endured with a smile. You
: were physically challenged, but it never prevented you from spreading warmth
: and love with pride and confidence.
: I wanted you to join the play of the other children on holidays, but that was
: my hardship -- you enjoyed the laughter and seized every moment.
: The appreciation of life, however brief it may be, was your gift to us, your
: loving family. And we will always remember that endearing smile, a smile that
: was contagious and admired by all.
: Houston was your home, the place where you underwent care and treatment and
: offered the same with your striking and infectious smile. My NBA career was a
: challenge because it kept me away from home, but no matter where I played --
: Los Angeles or San Antonio -- my heart always remained in Houston. And I
: couldn't wait to visit so I could hold you. Daddy-daughter time was precious;
: I treasured our moments together and held onto your irresistible smile, my
: inspiration.

我知道妳一直被病魔折磨著，但那忍受痛的微笑一直掛在妳嘴邊。
妳是一個行動不便的人，但這一點都沒有妨礙妳把溫暖跟愛以自信跟自豪的方式
傳播給周遭的人。
假日我想讓妳跟一般孩子一樣去玩，但是卻要看著妳在週遭環境下強忍與抉擇
這是為人父的不忍。
人生苦短─但妳把最好的那一段留給我們家。
我們永遠記得那討人喜愛的微笑。這微笑永遠那麼有感染力的鼓舞著別人。
Houston是妳的家，妳治療病魔的地方，妳用微笑感染他人的地方。
打NBA是爸爸的工作也是難處。因為爹地四處征戰會四處不在家。
但無論我人在Los Angeles或San Antonio打球，我的心永遠都在Houston
我總是期待對上火箭的比賽，因為那代表我終於有機會抱抱妳。
這段時間是珍貴的，我將永遠珍藏妳天使般的微笑，那是我的寶
我的命。

: My retirement finally enabled me to join you, and I witnessed the fighter
: spirit daily. The things we take for granted -- breathing, eating, walking --
: were your obstacles. But you faced every challenge with courage and that
: charming smile that made everything better.
: You only had seventeen short years, not nearly enough time for me, but when I
: get angry, I think of your smile and the cheer you shared with everyone
: around you.
: On this day, Father's Day, your spirit is watching over me and making sure we
: are all safe and warm. I know you are smiling on life, love and family, and
: waiting for us to join you. There will come a time when we will again see
: that engaging smile that brought us so much joy each day of your life.
: In your loving memory, we will persistently seek to increase awareness of
: 1p36 deletion syndrome through your foundation. We will bring hope to others
: around the world, to the children who suffer from the same genetic disorder,
: and to those parents and families who share the same desperation.
: As the clock ticks, we will nudge medical science with your courage and
: determination and hope and pray that your eternal smile will offer the
: comfort that inspired me each day of your beautiful life.

退休後我終於有時間多陪陪妳。目擊了生活中呼吸吃飯走路這些正常人輕而易舉
的事對妳來說是多麼的困難。而看到這些也每日煎熬著我。
但是妳一一面對了這些不便，臉上總是掛著那迷死人的笑容。
讓每一天都變的更好。
妳只有短短的17歲生命，對父女相處而言實在太短。但當我為此生氣時
我的內心又總會回頭想想那只有短短17歲生命卻帶著的迷人微笑的小傢伙
是如何感染著周圍的人?

每年的父親節，妳的靈魂將會照亮我們全家確保我們都平安健康。妳會在天上看著我。
就像在天堂的小天使一樣把愛傳給我們然後等待我們到天上相聚的一刻。
這一天一定會到來，我們會再次分享妳陪伴我們時那令人愉快的微笑。

我們會堅持不放棄的收集追蹤有關妳得到的疾病的相關新知
透過以妳為名的基金會，我們會把希望帶給那些同樣得到跟妳一樣得到
遺傳性疾病的小朋友跟他的父母，我們會把希望帶給他們。

隨著時間，我們會用妳對抗病魔的勇氣去推廣這些醫療新知
我祈禱妳那曾經讓爹地溫暖舒服的微笑能夠持續鼓舞著更多的人。


: I will always love you.
: Love, Dad

爹地愛妳

永遠愛妳
