10月22日(週六)上午是女兒一年一度的家長日Parent's Day，今年可是全家出動參加喔。其中最特別的是這次乃為賢醫師首次參與孩子的家長日，且是以親子裝之父女裝亮相哦。前晚貼心的導師Teacher Brenda簡訊提醒準時參加，一早就全家出門，未到八點就到校。在這個月月初導師讓孩子們投票選出班服，也代購有意願的家長size服裝。橘色的班服，中間除有5F is Fabulous與校名外，還有一家子手牽手的卡通圖樣family。橘色強烈表現出獨立又創新活潑、勇往直前的天不怕、地不怕的純真及童意。

小五女兒班級的家長日地點是在學校四樓圖書館演出，及親師互動，場地寬敞，每位孩子可盡情不受限，大伸手腳地揮擺舞動。哈利路亞！孩子的表演活動內容隨著年紀增長更豐富與細膩，看到小五女兒班級的每位小朋友精彩演出，真覺得好驕傲，感謝主。讚美主，讓小五女兒在校生活豐盛、joyful。

分享當天讓家長飆淚的表演，大都是導師Teacher Brenda所編撰。因女兒班級是英文實驗班，全程表演皆是以英文表現，聽女兒說有不少家長表示聽不懂英文，然家長們心中應皆是與我同，深覺安慰、喜樂與感恩。

Dear Mom and Dad,

You are my lovely parents.  There words are from my heart.  From the day I was born, you did everything for me.  How can I express my thanks! You fed me when I was hungry. You washed me when I was dirty. You nursed me when I was sick. You helped me when I cried. You helped me when I needed. You gave me many happy childhood memories. You always put me first. You made me feel so special. I couldn't ask that for more. I respect the values you taught. I admire the hard work you did. I thank you for your sacrifice. You raised me well. You tried so hard. You did the best you could do. Today, I will make you a promise. Then, I will make a toast. Both are from my heart. I promise to make you proud of me. I promise to always respect and love you. Also, I promise to take care of you as long as I live. Now, everybody, I propose a toast. Let's raise our glasses together. Let's drink to honor my parents. My dear parents, you light up my life.  You mean the world to me. A toast cheers, bottoms up. To conclude our party, I would like to recite a famous Irish blessing. May the road right to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

是的，聽著家長席前的這群三十五位小學五年級的小朋友，齊聲用字正腔圓英文背誦recite這段promise，眼淚不自主流落。感謝主。哈利路亞。導師Teacher Brenda十年半前，自英國里茲大學University of Leeds畢業後，就在孩子就讀的這所私校小學任教，是位認真又亮麗的女老師，請參卓日昨「認真又亮麗的私校老師」。在她娓娓道來這幾年帶班心得，各科目教學重點，更加放心。

隨會後，閒醫師一家在賦歸車上，笑稱女兒promise已可獨立，成年了，閒醫師夫婦可放手囉！幽默又善解人意的乖女兒在車上再次背誦recite她的promise，傻爸呆媽整日是溫暖窩心滿懷~
