~~~~~~~~(2011.5.29.일요일)<마지막 면회>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
안녕하세요? 여러분은 오늘을 어떻게 보내었어요? 여러분이 있는 곳의 날씨는 어땠나요?
이곳 서울 날씨는 거의 여름이었답니다. 네, 여름이 오고 있네요! 아니~ 아예 날아 오고 있습니다. 오늘 날씨가 참 좋았어요. 햇살이 빛나는 날이었습니다. 우리는 호숫가 옆의 키 큰 나무들 아래 돗자리를 깔고 편하게 누웠습니다. 나무 아래 누우니, 나뭇잎들이 흔들리며 서걱서걱 아주 듣기 좋은 소리를 냈습니다.
바닥에 누워서 하늘을 쳐다 보니, 바람에 흔들리는 나뭇잎들이 햇살에 비치어 투명한 연녹색으로 밝게 반짝여 정말 아름다웠습니다. 우리는 간식도 먹고 음료수도 마시며 이런저런 이야기를 나누며, 나중에는 전화로 파닭을 시켜 먹었답니다. (하하 : ‘파닭’이 무어냐고요? ‘파닭’이란 파와 닭을 버무린 닭요리입니다.) 그리고 이곳에 첫 면회를 왔던 날에 대해 이야기 했습니다. 그때는 초겨울의 추운 날씨이었는데, 이제 한달 뒤면 제대를 하네요. 시간은 절대 머물러있지 않고 흐릅니다!
