为离家很远的缘故,已经习惯了对家乡和父母的遥望,这些遥望常常是伴随着童年的回忆一下子涌到我面前的,这一涌就总是湿了视线。每到回忆的深处,我都恍惚觉得那些时光的温暖并没有走远。我看到了父母——他们年轻时的形象就那样充满生机地站在眼前,连同那些再熟悉不过的言语和喜怒。有些事情虽已陈年,但对我来说,它们永远是特别的。在这个平凡的世界上,它们让我因为父母和他们给予我的这份独特的财富,而安分快乐地做一个平凡的女儿。
印象中我很小的时候,父亲就因为盖房子的原因经常出差。如同当年的父亲一样,故事中赶回家团圆的“爸爸”在用心一点点建立家园的完满,建立起女儿对他的重温和信赖。其实,他给孩子带来的何止是家的感觉和爱的抚慰,带来的还有孩子投入的依恋,和“爸爸”离去后再次的守望。
故事里的“我”有了一枚硬币,那硬币里更多的是我的遥想、感激和眷恋,它已存在我心里多年了,只是今天我才通过这个故事交给父亲。
完稿时又是一个严冬。天气很冷,大家又在谈论过年的事情了。这一谈,好想家啊。没想到很多年后,我和父亲换了位置——那个在家守望的人是他,而那个一心想要赶回家过年的人是我……
