HE FOUND ME
by Sandra Dopierala, San Marcos, California
I was thinking I’d be alone forever after a terrible time in my life, when there he was. While I sat soaking in the fresh air after a two-week bout of bronchiolitis, he stood watching the waves roll in. He asked if he could sit next to me. “Sure, why not?” I said. We people-watched and talked about which dog breed was our favorite. We watched the sunset together. I didn’t know it then, but I’d found my husband—or rather, he had found me. We now return to that spot every year on our anniversary.
遇见他时,我正结束一段糟糕的时期,以为自 己将孤独终老。当时我的支气管炎刚刚好转,正坐在椅子上享受新鲜空气。他伫立着,看着波浪轻轻拍上海岸。他问我,能否在我身边坐下。“当然可以。”我这样回答他。我们观察着过往的行人;我们聊了聊各自喜欢的狗;我们看着那天的夕阳渐渐下沉。我当时还不知道,我就在那天找到了自己的另一半,或者说,是他找到了我。如今每个周年纪念日,我们都会回到当年相遇的地方坐坐。
