Dear body, thank you. 身體啊,謝謝你。
Thank you for doing your best every single day. 謝謝你每天都竭盡全力地支撐著我。
I know you are fighting a hard battle right now. 我知道,你正在打一場艱難的仗。
You are my hero. 你是我的英雄。
I promise that if there is something you can no longer do, I will not be angry with you. 我答應你,當有一天你無法完成某個動作時,我不會責怪你。
I promise to listen to you more carefully than ever before. 我答應你,我會比以往任何時候,都更用心地傾聽你的聲音。
I promise not to demand from you what you are unable or unwilling to give. 我答應你,我不再向你索求超出你能力、也超出你意願的付出。
I’m sorry that I have done that so often in the past. 對不起,過去的我常常忽略了這一點。
And finally, and most importantly, I solemnly promise that when you can no longer go on, I will do as you wish. 最後,也是最重要的 — 我鄭重承諾,當你真的撐不下去時,我會尊重你、相信你,並按照你的意思去做。
