导读:女儿4岁时,因罕见疾病不幸去世,她将女儿的骨灰盒放在女孩常坐的汽车座椅上,并拍下了照片,感动了无数人。
When Sarah Walton needed to transport her deceased 4-year-old daughter’s ashes from the funeral home, she put them in the only logical place she could think of: the little girl’s car seat.
当莎拉·沃尔顿将她4岁女儿的骨灰从葬礼上带回家时,她将女儿的骨灰盒放在了她唯一能想到的位置上—那就是汽车内女儿的儿童座椅。
Ellie Walton died in January from a rare brain tumor. She endured 17 surgeries, 14 of them brain surgeries, in her short life.
艾丽·沃尔顿因罕见的脑瘤在一月份去世。她短暂的一生总共经历了17次手术,其中14次是脑部手术。
Sarah Walton "wasn’t sure" why she photographed the temporary urn in the car seat, but she’s received such an outpouring of support since she posted it on the Facebook page Prayers for Ellie Walton that she hopes it’s raising awareness about pediatric cancer.
莎拉·沃尔顿也不清楚自己为什么要拍下将女儿的骨灰盒放在汽车座椅上的照片,但是自从她将这张照片放到脸书“为艾丽·沃尔顿祈祷”的网页上以后,她收到了很多支持,她创建该网页的初衷就是能够提高人们对儿科癌症的重视。
Currently, 4 percent of cancer research funding goes to pediatric cancer.
目前,只有4%的癌症研究基金会致力于儿科癌症的研究。
"It’s been two months of pure torture, agony, and despair," Walton wrote. "All I want back is our daily life, whatever they entailed, I want it back. I want hospital visits back, and chemo back, I want your laughter, and your joyous heart back. The things that brought my heart so much pain, only a few months ago, I so desperately want back today."
“整整两个月只有折磨,痛苦和失望,”沃尔顿写道。“我只希望我们能回到以前的日子,不论它们蕴含着什么,我都想要回到以前的日子。我想要回到去医院检查的日子,我想要带你去化疗,我想要听到你的笑声,想要看到你令人欢乐的身影。只是几个月以前,所有一切让我心痛万分的事情,我现在却那么希望能够重来一次。”
Walton told ABC News that she never wants another mother to go through this.
沃尔顿告诉ABC News, 她希望其他的母亲不要再经历所有这一切。
But posting about Ellie, Walton told ABC News, also helps her cope with her daughter’s loss. "I love to talk about her and have people remember her. I love to hear about her and I love to talk about her."
但是通过将艾利的故事发布在网上,沃尔顿告诉ABC News,很好的帮助她缓解了失去女儿的痛苦。“我喜欢谈论她也希望人们能够记住她。我喜欢听到关于她的事情也喜欢谈论她。”
Ellie wore sunglasses everywhere she went, her mother said. "But she always wore them upside down. Even when I put them on her the right way she turned them around." She also loved animals, especially dinosaurs, and pickles.
艾丽去哪都要戴着太阳眼镜,她的母亲说。“但是她总是反着戴。即使我把它摆正她也要把它反过来。”她也非常喜欢小动物,尤其是恐龙,她还喜欢腌黄瓜。
"She was the kind of kid who would have brain surgery on a Monday and by Tuesday she wanted to leave the hospital so she could get a Slurpee," her mother told ABC News. "She lit up a room. She was very outgoing and spoke to every person."
“她是那种在周一做了脑部手术,周二就想出院喝思乐冰的女孩,”她的妈妈告诉ABC News。“她的乐观能感染每一个人。她很外向,会和每一个人交谈。”
The outpouring of love on the family’s Facebook page has been tremendous. "Awareness is about funding, of course," Walton said. "But for families going through this, just having people support them is important, too."
这家人的脸书网页爱意满满。“当然,关注是为了基金,”沃尔顿说。“但是对于那些经历这些的家庭来说,只是有人支持也同样重要。”
