最近看到兩部令人印象深刻的短片。
一部很歡樂，另一部則很溫馨，
表現手法完全不一樣，但同樣撼動人心、同樣令人動容。

Part I
2009年7月8日傍晚，瑞典斯德哥爾摩的MJ迷以「快閃」的形式，悼念這位80年代的永恆巨星。
第一場在Segels Torg，緊接著，第二場在Central Station。
(其實，當天晚上11點還有第三場。)
現場氣氛非常激昂、興奮、快樂，我邊看邊笑的同時，不禁紅了眼眶。
臺灣歌迷們似乎也在醞釀類似的紀念活動，我真的非常期待 : )

Part II
Still searching for the perfect partner?
Imperfections are what actually make someone perfect.
一位印度裔婦人在喪禮中，悼念著她死去的華裔老公。
婦人給自己孩子們的那席話，讓我留下了眼淚。
婦人的話簡單平淡，卻出奇地真誠且美麗。
I'm not going to sing praises to my late husband, not today.
Neither am I going to talk about how good he was. Enough people have done that here.
Instead, I want to talk about some things that would make some of you feel… a bit uncomfortable.
First of all, I want to talk about what happened in bed.
Ever have difficulty starting your car engine in the morning?
Horrrrr~~Ka~Keeeeee~~ Horr~~Gaaa~~~~~~~~
Well, that's exactly what David snoring sounded like.
But wait, snoring wasn't everything.
There was also these rear and wind action going on as well.
Some nights it would be so forceful, it would wake him up.
" What was that? " he would ask.
" Oh, it's the dog. " I would say.
" Go back to sleep, dear. "
Oh, you might find these all very funny, but toward the end of his life, when his illness was at its worst,
these sounds indicated to me… that my David was still alive.
And what I wouldn't give… just to hear those sounds again before I sleep.
In the end, it’s these small things that you remember,
little imperfections that make them perfect for you.
So to my beautiful children,
I hope one day you too find yourselves life partners who are as beautifully imperfect as your father was to me.
