世界上最老的博客人,澳大利亚悉尼的OLIVE RILEY老人,于上周六(7月12日)去世,享年108岁。
本人曾以《安逸的生活--一个107岁老人的博客》写过她,也曾多次访问过她的博客,感到老人的精神十分可佳,并祝福她健康长寿。
知道RILEY辞世后,想再次看看她的博客,但怎么样也打不开。经过反查找,才得知为她管理博客的MIKE先生正在进行博客维护,
老人的一生是充满坎坷的一生,又是平凡的一生,也是欢快的一生。就在今年的6月8日,她在医院里写了她的第71个博文,用歌声赞美生活,表达对幸福的企盼:
Hello, my dear friends. I'm very pleased you've found my blob's new address.
Mike often encourages people to sing more songs, and I've found that it helps me whenever I feel sad. If you're feeling blue, sing a happy song out loud. People might think you're going round the bend, but don't let that worry you.
I love singing that old favourite, Happy Days are Here Again.
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Then there's:
I want to be happy
But I can't be happy
Till I make you happy too.
I also enjoy singing that catchy Disney tune: Zippity Doo-dah
Zippity doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zippity-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
The lovely nurses in my hostel sometimes gather in my room and sing this litle ditty to me:
Old Mother Riley
We love you,
Yes we do,
We love you.
That's just the first verse. When Mike returns home, perhaps he'll make a video of the nurses singing all of it, so you can see and hear them.
她希望在MIKE 回来后(MIKE出国很长时间),能把最后这段护士们经常聚在她病房中给她唱的歌做成视频,让朋友们欣赏。可惜老人没能等到这一天,她永远地离开了!
愿您如以往那样的慈祥而长眠!
