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。

This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler．He grew quite ill and，unfortunately，so did his HIV－infected mother．When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive，Tyler’s mom talked to him about death．She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that s he would be with him soon in heaven．

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肓。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。

A few days before his death，Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered，“I might die soon．I’m not scared．When I die，please dress me in red．Mom promised she’s coming to heaven，too．I’ll be playing when she gets there，and I want to make sure she can find me．

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。（End）
