这几天忙得不亦乐乎 – 应用服务器，数据服务器都在更新，同时还要保证每个项目程序运行正常，所以有时忙着并无奈着并快乐着～～
按往常，我一天要抽出二十分钟的时间，去同事L那里看当天的报纸；因为这几天忙，就没有去。昨天一早刚到办公室，L就打来电话，说：今天的报纸你一定要看，对不起，我想你也一定会伤心的。。。把我的新笔记本交给设备组的J，我马上到L的办公室，看到的确确实实是个痛心的新闻 – 六岁的一年级小男生，在这周放春假的时候，昨天早上和爸爸一起帮爸爸的公司做树杈绞碎工作，不小心被卷进木料榨碎机（wood chipper），当场死亡！处理事故现场的人就有一句话形容：”a horrible, tragic accident” （“一个可怕的，悲惨的意外”）（原文新闻在最后）
我看完新闻，一天也没有好心情，心也一样被绞碎着 – 为什么那么小的孩子？为什么孩子的爸爸？为什么。。。？生命为什么那么脆弱！等到下班去PQ公司，他跟我说的第一句话：我们IT部门发生了大事。。。接着我就把六岁孩子的事讲出来。PQ睁大眼的看着我。。。不幸太巧合了，正和新闻上一样，PQ部门的同事（孩子的妈妈）出了这样悲惨的事！
都在感叹生命的脆弱，也在感慨对生命的呵护对生命的尊敬是应该从小做起的，从父母做起的！回到家，晚饭的时候，四个人叽叽喳喳又议论了半天，从CiCiDiDi怜惜那个小男孩的一言一语，一个小表情，就知道他们一旦做了父母，也会很好地爱护他们的孩子，除了让他们不受伤害，还要教他们如何爱惜保护好自己的生命。。。。

网络组的凯西自己在几年前也患了家族病乳癌子宫癌，但她异常坚强，做了隆胸术后，又穿上漂亮的衣服，每天上班和所有的人有说有笑，有什么问题找到她，她会很认真的来解决。就是这样一个朝气勃勃的人，也遇到了麻烦。她老公二月底做了手术（一般这是人家的隐私），没有想到的是手术本身唔紧要，但手术后一下子危机到生命。于是凯西不得不天天在医院看护，祈祷生命的奇迹！两个多月来，同事之间捐钱送花篮，还有把个人的假期无私捐给她，我也是其中之一，也是我觉得自己能做的。
今天早上由于CiCi的小手术，我请了将近三个小时的假在医院。回到办公室，看见放到我桌上的凯西的信 （原文在下面），她说她有感于生命的脆弱，感谢大家的支持。
再次祈祷凯西对生命的爱护和全力以赴，希望她早些回来！

今早去做CiCi左手腕的腱鞘囊肿的小手术。小姑娘漂亮的小手，长出个包包，两年前就做了囊液吸允术。大夫当时说：吸允术后复发率是80%，切开术后的复发率是20%。我极力反对小漂亮手上有个小疤痕，所以当时没有同意手术。两年后再见手科专科大夫，他说两年了才长出来，还是吸了吧！于是乎，CiCi瓷牙咧嘴的抱着我，不出声，很乖地用中文问我：快完了吗？我心疼的掐她的耳朵～～～呵呵，很快就完了。先没有让她开车，我送她回学校。我又赶紧赶来上班。一到办公室，CiCi就来了短信：Mommy, I am put down as an unexcused absence and the doctor needs to confirm that I did not skip shook this morning. 意思就是说学校觉得她旷了一节多课，要大夫的证明。我早上在医院的时候还特意给学校打了电话，告诉CiCi有大夫的预约。最近学校由于一些其他的事，看管学生们很严很严。于是，我就又打给大夫办公室说明情况，他们说表示理解，说马上就传真过去。中午CiCi在学校餐厅发来短信告诉我学校收到了大夫的证明信。
出了医院以后的小委屈脸 – 可爱极了！
抽出来的液体，没有第一次多
没有做之前，包包也不是很大

学校的严格是出了名的，但就是这样严厉的学校，这个尚好的住宅区，这个犹太人占主导的，重视教育重视家庭的富裕小城镇，前几周开除了十几个高一高二的孩子（有一个孩子和DiDi同班），因为吸毒问题。有五个孩子将面临法律的制裁。这是我们学区的丑闻！借此机会，我们又一次告诫CiCi和DiDi，远离毒品，爱惜自己爱惜他人！

(六岁男孩的不幸)
人们发飞鲜红的汽球来纪念惨遭不幸的鲜活的小生命～～
A 6-year-old died Tuesday morning when he was pulled into a wood chipper while his father was clearing out trees and brush from a Brookside Drive property, police said.
When the father turned to gather brush, Jeffrey Bourgeois tried to help by picking up a branch and putting it into the wood chipper, state police said. When he did, the boy became entangled and was pulled into the machine.
The accident, which was witnessed by two of the boy’s siblings, happened about 8:45 a.m., said Lt. J. Paul Vance, state police spokesman.
Jeffrey and two older siblings were with their father, Scott Bourgeois, who was chopping trees and grinding wood in the yard of 24 Brookside Drive. The children’s schools are closed for vacation this week.
Based on a preliminary review of the scene, Vance said the incident appears to be “a horrible, tragic accident.”
Scott Bourgeois owns C&S Tree Removal LLC, according to state records. The family is well known in town, First Selectman Kevin Lyden said.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to them,” said Lyden.
The Bourgeois family lives in Salem but not on that street, Vance said.
School officials were meeting early Tuesday afternoon to discuss Jeffrey’s death.
Officials at Salem School, where Jeffrey Bourgeois was a first-grader, were taken back by the news on Tuesday.
“We’re sort of all in shock,” said School Superintendent Kaye Griffin. “The teachers and the board are quite upset.”
Students are on spring break, but the school will be open from 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for one-on-one or group counseling, Griffin said.
“Our plan is to provide counseling services for students and their parents,” she said.
The school has also planned counseling for next week.

（凯西的感谢信）
Hello **** Friends,
I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and thoughts, as well as their generosity for the gift basket!
If I could sit down with each and every one of you and share my experiences this past month regarding the fragility of life— I would.
All I can offer at this point, is that we all have been dealt cards— how we play them is what matters. We all are doing well.
I look forward to seeing your smiles and dealing with the nuances of our work lives in the near future!
Bill, the kids and I really appreciate your kind words and thoughts and I will see you soon!
Thank you again,
Kathy
