Ruby，我們每年都要一起過你的第二個生日。這傳統是從14年前就開始了。每年這時候也會鼓勵大家捐贈骨髓。我們因為這樣就認識了。今年差一點點錯過。因為疫情的關係，全世界的經常生活節奏都亂掉了。還有，你從去年就發現了甲狀腺發炎。你有跟我說你好累，第一個第二個生日都不想再過了。
聽你分享這些我都很難過，因為我無法體驗這種恐懼，這種疼痛。我只能說我會永遠支持你。你也後來做了決定要繼續慶生。住在墨爾本的你就買了起士蛋糕，甚至還另外加了草莓擺在上面。住在台北的我為了跟你一起享受時刻，也買了一塊起士蛋糕，還學了你特別加了之前對它沒興趣的草莓。沒想到這次吃下去就覺得很好吃，哈哈哈。
認識你已經14年了，但卻還沒遇到本人。幸好可以透過網路保持聯絡。這次也要請大家特別幫妳打氣。祝你六月開刀順利！你真的很勇敢，也讓我自己能增加點勇氣，去面對自己的事。Ruby，保重。祝你第二個生日快樂。 🎂🍓
Ruby, it’s your ‘birthsary’. 14 years ago I met you through bone marrow donation. Since then we’ve celebrated every year that you have stayed leukemia free.
But we almost didn’t celebrate it this year. Covid-19 has upended everyone’s lives and the world seems more troubled than ever. Furthermore, after discovering last year, that you developed thyroid cancer from years of chemotherapy as a child, you shared with me that you were demoralized. 🙈
I didn’t know what to say. I can’t possibly know or understand what it feels like to have overcome a life threatening cancer as a child, only to be faced with a different one as an adult. 😔
All I know is that I will always stay by your side. Even if with you being in Melbourne, and me in Taipei. Thank God for the internet. You are my sister, after all, at least scientifically speaking, hehe. But in all seriousness, even before I learned your name, I knew you were family.
I know you are scheduled for surgery in June, and I’ll be praying until my face turns blue.
And I’m glad our tradition continues! Once I saw your cheesecake, I went out and bought myself a slice, so that we could celebrate together. I even put strawberries on it, just like you did. I don’t even like strawberries, haha. Just kidding, they actually are quite tasty, I’m figuring that out now!
Ruby, bless you, and keep safe and healthy. Happy 14th Second Birthsary. 🎂🍓
