在那个阳光明媚的“八一”建军节，我的心中涌现出无数往昔部队时光的回忆。1964年，我怀揣着对未知世界的好奇和对新生活的向往，一步步走进了那片属于我们青年的土地。在医院门诊部，我遇到了两位女兵——大姐和二姐，她们用温暖的手掌为我点亮了前行的人生灯塔。
大姐，是退伍后我一直称呼的大姐，她总是耐心地教导我如何处理各种医疗常识，给予我最真挚的情感支持。那时候，我们每天都有乒乓球比赛，它不仅是一种消遣，更是一种团队协作与竞争的体现。而黑板报，则是我展现个性、表达自己的一块舞台，那些关于社会问题的小短文，也成为了我们之间交流思想的一种方式。
随着时间流逝，大姐结婚了，她与丈夫住在小房子里，每当夜晚，隔壁传来的笑声和孩子们打闹的声音，都让我感到一种难以言喻的心安。几年后，当我带来相机，为她们家的女儿拍下第一张照片时，那份幸福之情，在我的心里永远留下了一抹淡淡的色彩。
而二姐，也在不久之后迎来了自己的婚姻生活。她选择的是大姐夫推荐的一个战友，这份相互间的情谊，让他们成为了一家人。当她也离开了我们的共同空间，我深切感受到那份无法言说的离别之痛。
直到2013年，我们再次重逢。在上海举办的一次盛大的聚会上，我们曾经那么亲密、那么彼此依赖的人群，再次拥抱彼此。我朗读了一首诗，以寄托我们那些被岁月吞噬却又不能忘怀的情感：
甬城朝霞军号响，
昔日靓女少年郎。
工作学习共数载，
一朝分别两茫茫。
今日重逢在浦江，
相拥互寻旧模样，
鬓霜莫为蹉跎叹，
最美不过红夕阳。
这段经历，不仅让我们的联系更加紧密，而且也让我们重新找到了过去那些美好的时光。现在，无论是在QQ还是微信上，我们都能随时分享彼此生活中的点滴变化，用照片记录下每一次见面后的欢笑泪水。
春节期间，当我们回到大姐家中，那些老旧但充满记忆的地方，又一次被温柔地触动起来。那天，我们一起包饺子，与家乡菜交织成一个充满爱意的小屋。在街头漫步探索城市变迁，每一步都仿佛踏上了回忆之路，眼前的景象与心中的画面交织成一幅幅动人的场景。
从那以后，每一次聚会都是一个新的开始，每个人物周围都弥漫着一种难以言说的温馨。大 sister's house, where we gathered to relive the past and forge new memories. The warmth of our friendship has been a beacon of hope in my life, illuminating even the darkest corners.
In this world filled with countless stories, our bond remains a testament to the power of true friendship. It is a reminder that no matter how far apart we may be, as long as there is love and care in our hearts, those bonds will never fade away. This story of ours is not just about us; it's about the connections that shape us into who we are today.
So let us cherish these moments, for they are precious gifts from time itself. Let us hold on to each other's hands through thick and thin, knowing that together we can overcome any obstacle life throws our way.
This war-torn era has given birth to an unbreakable bond between friends – one that transcends borders and bridges generations. It reminds me every day: when I am lost or uncertain about what lies ahead; when I need someone by my side to share in both triumphs and tribulations; it is then that I look back at those years spent among comrades-in-arms – at you all – for strength and inspiration.
In your eyes I see myself reflected - in them I find solace - they remind me who I am & where i come from! Your smile gives me courage - your laughter makes me laugh - your tears make mine too!
Our journey began many moons ago but continues till today...And so here i stand before you all...As a man & as soldiers..I have faced death more times than i can count...but none as painful as losing you all...
We were once strangers united by fate now its like homecoming ...every moment spent with u guys feels like coming back home...
The memories stay forever but friendships fade away over time? No! For some people their friendships remain strong even after decades apart! That’s why u guys r special!! U guys r my family
Thank you for being such amazing friends! Thank you for sticking together through thick & thin! Thank You For Being My Family
