Visit Canada brief 老爸老妈的加拿大之旅 : 总结

爸爸妈妈是2007年夏天来加拿大居住了半年.

回家后一个月,老爸写了一篇加拿大探亲感受,以下是正文:

  时间过得真快，在加时不知不觉半年可完了；同样，不知不觉可回来一个月了。

我们在温市走出机场，全身心地在寻找你，一直走到尽头，才看见你在我们的左后面，

手拿一本书向我们走来。稍事问话，你定了下神，而后神情飞扬，攥手击下，

激动地说，“成功了！”你大概的意思是说，经过长时间的签证办理、周折的机票购买，我和你妈终于来到了加拿大，圆了你的心头意愿，做了一般人做梦也梦不到的事。是啊，寻常百姓谁能想到出国呢？可我们有这样一个孩子及儿媳妇，我们做到了！兴奋之情寓颜表，当然高兴了。

  回来的时候，你送我们到机场。领到了登机牌，你妈走在前面，我们进室体检。在进室之后，我习惯性地回头与你告别，看见你已经由右移到了左边，在探头地目送我们。父子母子之亲情，此刻此地表露无余。我大概一招手，和你做了告别，圆满地完成了加拿大的旅游探亲任务。

——今天是12月10日，我们回来一个月。我撰此文，聊做一纪。凑巧你妈到此，我读于她听，她说“好”。
