April 16, 2003- Arrived in Boston
二零零三年四月十五日－順利到達波士頓
In many ways, an immigration experience is a "rebirth".
從許多不同的方面而言，這移民之路就彷如一個“重生”的經歷。
The people that I used to know,從前所熟悉的臉孔，
The roads that I used to walk,從前所習慣的道路，
The comfort zones that I used to have,從前所建立的舒適環境，
The languages that I used to speak,從前所認識的語言
and everything that I am used to,及從前所有的一切
were blurred by the change of time.
都一一因著時間的流逝而變得模糊不清。

April 15, 2013- Boston Marathon
二零一三年四月十五日－波士頓馬拉松
In many ways, my immigration experience always reminds me that life is a gift. 在多方面而言，我的移民經歷總友善地提醒自己“這生命是一份無價的禮物”
The new people that I met,從新所認識的臉孔，
The new roads that I walked,從新所走過的道路，
The new comfort zones that I found,從新所建立的舒適環境，
The language that I learned to speak,從新所學會的語言，
and everything that was once strange to me,跟之前所陌生的一切，
are now more clear than ever because of time.
現也一一因著時間的轉變而變得清晰。
10th YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!
十週年的慶祝！
To my beloved father Zhi Qin Weng who sacrificed your life in Boston working without my mother, little brother and me, I will dedicate my 10th year anniversary Run for you. I do not just want to keep you inside my memory; I want to let others know how amazing a father you were.給我最尊敬的翁志勤爸爸致敬。縱然我從未曾有機會當面跟你說聲謝謝，謝謝你對這個家無條件無怨言地付出一切。現在我就用真誠的行動來表達這感恩之心。人生第一次的馬拉松長跑每一步為你而跑，每一滴汗為你而流，每一口氣為你而喘。我不想讓你被遺忘，即使時間過了很久很久，我依然會記掛你無私的愛。
To my beloved mother, little brother and step-father, you are the perfect example of a loving family. There are struggles, yet there are even more positive growth. Thanks for nurturing me with delicious homemade feast, simple acts of kindness, and unfailing love.給我摯愛的家人，謝謝我們這一家，友愛的這一家。雖然少不了人生裡不可避免的掙扎跟困难，但主的恩典夠我們用。越過每次的掙扎跟困難是無數次感恩的經歷与回憶。謝謝最美味及獨一無二的住家菜，謝謝細微到極點的愛，謝謝每次的無限量的包容。
To my beloved Youth Center of Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, thank you for equipping me with English language skills, interpersonal skills, and critical thinking skills through my interactions with staffs and my participations in the programs offered. Thanks for nurturing me.給我最親愛的青少年中心，謝謝你們透過親身地培養跟不斷地鼓勵著我，讓我有機會與空間好好練習英文，好好處理人際關係，跟凡事都先
To my beloved friends and mentors, thank you for inspiring me to grow. From a little girl in 2003 to a young woman in 2013, I must admit that it is a pretty messy path. Thank you for being good listeners because I am often too eager to express my thoughts. Thank you for modeling what a good friend and mentor is so that I can be a good friend and mentor for others. Thank you for allowing me to walk with you in your life journey. 給我最親愛的知己友人跟導師們，謝謝你們常常提醒我生命是如此可愛。由’03年的那位小朋友到現在’13年的自己，這十年之路真是一條不容易的成長道路。謝謝你們總擔任聆聽者的角色，讓急於表達的我能夠慢慢地說出所想所困跟所樂之事；謝謝你們作我的好友跟導師好讓我學會當別人的好友跟導師；謝謝你們讓我有機會跟你們一起成長，見證這生命。
Most of all, to the God who answered, answers, will continue to answer my prayers, thank You for inviting me to be in a LOVING relationship with You. When we had nothing, the LOVE of my family was the foundation of life. Thank You for providing us what we need in order to survive and thrive. Soli Deo Gloria.
最後要寫給我最敬愛親愛，昔聽，今聽，永聽我禱告的天父上帝全能主。謝謝你讓我有機會回醒跟回轉過來，回到祢的身邊與祢一起享受著愛的甘甜。神祢就是愛的源頭，賜與我們生命氣息的源頭。主耶穌在十架上為我們罪人而犧牲，流出寶血，並在三天后復活，祢就是永活主。祢那犧牲般的愛讓我深深地感受了家人犧牲般的愛。因為愛，所以祢願意降低尊貴的身份，成為人的樣式，好讓我們能夠認識祢，再次與祢修補好關係，開始愛的溝通。當我們這一家從頭來過一無所有時，愛就將我們這一家緊緊的連繫著。愛就是我們這一家的根基。謝謝祢供應我們一切的所需。我每天早上帶有意識所呼吸的每一口氣，直至到睡前帶有意識所呼吸的每一口氣，甚至睡覺時無意識的每一口氣，祢都一一供應。我將所有的榮耀都歸回於祢。
