给我穿上红色的衣服
In my dual profession as an educator and health careprovider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I havehad with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was alsoinfected. From the very beginning of his life, he was depend-ent on medications to enable him to survive. When he wasfive, he had a tube surgicallyl inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in asmall backpack on lus back. Medications were hooked2 up tothis pump and were continuously supplied through this tubeto his bloodstream. At times, he also neededsupplemented oxygen to support tus breath-ing.
Tyler wasn´t willing to give up one single mo-ment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It wasnot unusual to find him playing and racing aroundhis backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpackand dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in hislittle wagon. All of us whoknew Tyler marveled at hispure joy in being alive and theenergy it gave him.
Tyler´ s mom oftenteased3 him by telling himthat he moved so fast sheneeded to dress him in red.That way, when she peer-ed through the window to check on him playing in the yard,she could quickly spot him.
Tliis dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynam04 like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, un- fortunately, so did lus HIV-infected mother. When it becameapparent that he wasn´t going to survive, Tyler´s mom talk-ed to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tylerthat she was dying to, and that she would be with him soonin heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over tohis hospital bed and wlrispered, “I might die soon. I´m notscared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom
promisedshe´s coming to heaven, too. I´ll be playing when she getsthere, and I want to make sure she can find me.”
作为一名教育和保健护理工作者，我曾经和数不清的感染上艾滋病病毒的孩子打过交
道。我和这些特殊的孩子之间的关系是生活赋予的恩赐。他们教会我许多东西，我尤其懂得
了即使在最弱小的人物身上也能发现其所蕴含的巨大勇气。让我告诉你泰勒的故事。
泰勒出生前就从母体感染上艾滋病病毒。自他来到人间就一直靠药物维持生命。他5
岁时做手术，胸部插了一根管子，管子连着他背的背包里的泵，泵不断地把药通过管子输入
他的血液。有时他还需要补充氧气帮助呼吸。
泰勒不愿把童年的一分一秒屈服于致命的疾病。经常能发现他背着装药的背包和拖着
载有氧气罐的小车在他家后院玩耍奔跑。我们所有认识泰勒的人都惊叹生命带给他那纯朴的
欢乐和赋予他的活力。
泰勒的妈妈经常逗他说，他动得那么快，得给他穿件红衣服。这样她透过窗户查看他
在院子里玩得怎样时，能一眼发现他。
可怕的疾病最终还是拖垮了精力充沛得像台小电动机似的泰勒，他的病情越来越严
重，不幸的是身染艾滋病病毒的妈妈也病入膏育。泰勒即将撒手人寰时，妈妈和他谈起死亡。
她安慰他说，她也将要离开人世，不久会和他在天堂见面。
泰勒病逝前几天，招呼我到他病床前，低声对我说，“我可能就要死了，我不害怕。
我死时请给我穿上红色的衣服。妈妈答应我她也会来天堂的，她来的时候我会在玩，我得保
证她能找到我。”
