小時候，很害怕失去親人，尤其是父母，在我幼小的眼中，父母就是一切，只要有父母在的地方，就是世界上最安全的港口、最溫暖的安樂窩，無論身處何處也不必害怕。
有一天，母親和我談及死亡，她說，總有一天，他們也會有離去的時候，因此我們必須學會獨立，自己照顧自己，不能再依靠父母。那一刻，我簡直無法想像這將會是怎樣的日子，於是，到了晚上，我偷偷的躲在被窩裡哭了起來，我害怕再也聽不到、看不到、摸不到他們的日子。
上一年，外婆過身了，我看見媽媽在外婆的葬禮上，哭紅了雙眼，尤其是那最後的一眼，當棺木緩緩地向下沉，然後會被推至火化爐的那一刻，雖說我不是常和外婆來往，但以往和外婆的對話、生活上的小細節，全部一湧以上，淚水輕輕含在眼眶，原來這就是永恒的告別。
死亡，是人們最忌諱的一件事情，我們避而不談，千方百計遠離它，但總會有那麼一天，不管是我們自己，還是親人、朋友、恩師，都必然會令我們感受到，什麼叫最最最不捨。
聽過了Mariah Carey的「Bye Bye」以後，忽然感觸起來，本來只是喜歡這首歌的melody，看過歌詞後，卻感動得要讓我寫這篇文章。
送給你們，Mariah Carey的Bye Bye，願大家好好珍惜眼前人。

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye
This is for my peoples
who just lost somebody
ya best friend ya baby
ya man or ya lady
put your hand way up high
we will never say bye
no no no
mamas daddys sisters brothers
friends and cousins
this is for my peoples
who lost their grandmothers
lift ya head to the sky
cause we will never say bye
As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
on sunday mornings and i missed you
but i'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
separation brings
you never let me know it
you never let it show because
you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
if you were with me today
face to face
**Never knew I could hurt like this
and everyday life goes on I
wish I could talk to you for a while
miss you but i try not to cry
as time goes by
and it's true that you've
reached a better place
still i'd give the world
to see your face (bye)
and be right here next to you (bye)
but it's like you're gone too soon (bye)
now the hardest thing to do
is say bye bye
bye bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye**
And you never got a chance
to see how good I done
and you never got to see me
back at number one
I wish that you were here
to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend
the holidays together
I remember when you used to
tuck me in at night
with the teddy bear you gave me
that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
you'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact
you're gone forever
repeat**
