光陰故事咖啡店EP8 一張住院收據與父親的愛 ft. Jerry午後時光靜靜流動，《光陰故事咖啡店》裡瀰漫著咖啡香和陽光曬過木頭的味道。Jerry坐在我對面，靜靜地打開信封，拿出三張照片。第一張，是一張被小心裱貝保存的住院收據。「這是我爸爸留下來的遺物。」他說，語氣平靜，眼神卻藏不住情緒的波動。 那是一張16天住院的費用單，他六歲時住院的其中一次紀錄。 「我那時候感染傷寒，其實進出醫院非常頻繁，幾乎都在病房裡長大的感覺。這張收據只是其中一張，卻是我爸爸留下來的唯一一張。」 我們一邊喝著咖啡，一邊聽著 Mike + The Mechanics 的〈The Living Years〉緩緩流淌在空氣中。 歌詞唱著：「I just wish I could have told him in the living years.」（我只希望能在他還活著的時候告訴他。）Jerry說，他的父親在他年幼時與母親離異，一個人北上工作，白天上班賺錢，晚上回來照顧住院的他。即使手頭緊，也堅持讓孩子住在頭等病房，只為了讓他住得舒服一些。 「那時候我還小，不懂這是什麼意思。長大後才明白，這張紙上，是他不說出口的愛。」 Jerry望著那張收據，輕聲說：「如果能回到那個時空……我真的想讓他知道，我懂了。」 這份沉默而深厚的愛，也在他成為父親後，有了全新的理解與感受。而那第二張照片，正是從這段記憶延伸而來的故事——當年的孩子，變成了今天的父親，肩膀上的重量與柔軟，繼續在生命中流動。 這一集，邀你泡一杯咖啡，靜靜聽Jerry分享——那些錯過的對話，重拾的理解，以及跨越時間的父子情感。 有些話，我們終於懂了，但說出來時，已是歲月的回音。 本集配樂推薦：〈The Living Years〉by Mike + The Mechanics溫柔的旋律，唱出與父親之間來不及說的話，也唱出我們終於明白的那一刻。https://instagram.com/p/DHzUG92zgho/2025-03-301h 09
