萊福力與他的「天使21號」:我愛我的小兄弟Russell
記者王真魚/專題報導
「Russell是我的麻吉,也是我的開心果,第一眼見到,我們就有特殊的情感連結。」2018
年加入中信兄弟第一年,萊福力透過賽格威結識Clive一家人,Clive夫婦有4個男孩和領養
的3歲女孩,年僅5歲Russell患有唐氏症,但他的出生,就像「天使降臨」,總是帶給身邊
的人溫暖,太陽般的笑容,治癒了萊福力的世界。
正常人體細胞有23對染色體,唐寶寶第21對染色體突變,多了1條,共有3條染色體,成為「
21號天使」,3月21日同時是國際唐氏症者日,萊福力曾在個人社群響應這一天,希望有更
多人關懷這群天使。
談起認識萊福力的機緣,Clive透露,15年在12強美國隊擔任翻譯時,遇到賽格威,後來轉
隊到兄弟,剛好是萊福力第一年,在那時認識了彼此,「我們慢慢地成為很好的朋友,休兵
日或是他有空時,他都會到我家吃飯。」妻子Gloria笑說:「萊福力就是我們的家人,他花
很多時間在陪伴我們的小孩,一起打球或是打電動。」
5個小孩中,萊福力和Russell感情最好,Clive說:「他是一個很外向的孩子,很愛跟人家
抱抱,也很關心別人,他跟萊福力之間有那種特別的愛,每一次萊福力來,他都會衝上去抱
他,或許他都會讓萊福力想到自己的家人,讓他有家庭的感覺。」
今年2月,萊福力準備回球隊報到,展開新的球季,一抵台就是到Clive家中。大門一敞開,
孩子們一擁而上,Russell衝第一個,興奮地抱住他,大喊著萊福力的名字,Clive用手機拍
下這一切,萊福力相當感動。
「Russell看到我很興奮,我看到他也感到很興奮!」萊福力開心地描述當時的情況,「他
每次都會一直喊,『萊福力!萊福力!萊福力來了!』,他還會學我的投球動作。」
萊福力也以行動支持最好的朋友,在球團21日邀請到唐氏症寶寶開球當天,自告奮勇表示願
意擔任接球捕手,並且穿上為Russell設計的「Xtra Love」T恤,象徵給予這群唐寶寶們更
多關懷與愛。
「那天穿的T-shirt,上面寫Xtra Love,是Russell媽媽設計出來的,穿這件衣服,希望能
夠試著推廣這件衣服,因為義賣的這些錢可以幫助像Russell這樣的唐氏症孩子。」Gloria
除了致力於幫助唐氏症家庭之外,同時是台灣家庭生命關懷協會的共同創辦人。
萊福力感謝賽格威,讓他認識Clive一家人,「他們就是我在台灣的家人,我的家人老婆、
小孩因為疫情關係還無法來台,我其實很想念他們,但見到Russell算是彌補缺少家人可以
陪伴的那塊缺失,讓我覺得很溫馨。」
對Clive一家來說,萊福力也是陽光般的存在,Clive笑稱:「萊福力非常活潑、非常開朗,
很友善、很善良的一個人,也有點像小孩子,可以跟一堆小孩子混在一起,但是當你看到他
在打球的時候,可以感受他的成熟,感受到他的意志力很強。」
萊福力只要在洲際主場出賽,Clive一家人幾乎不會缺席,在本後總是可以看到孩子們展現
活力為他應援,也因為他,現在全家都是「爪迷」,二哥和三弟最喜歡的是詹子賢,Russel
l害羞地說,自己最喜歡的還是萊福力。
因為唐氏症,Russell的聽力不同一般人,無法長時間忍受噪音;剛進球場時,常常需要先
戴上耳罩,慢慢適應周遭環境之後,才能夠漸漸加入應援。
聽到兄弟球員的應援曲,Russell幾乎每一首都會跳,他的情緒也隨著比賽戰況而有高低起
伏,看到萊福力解決危機,會興奮地大喊著他的名字,為他振臂歡呼。
「其實Russell沒來球場,平常大概7點就想睡覺了。」Gloria說,「帶他來球場,他會比較
晚睡,整晚充滿能量,我們覺得很值得。」
「Russell就是我的小兄弟,我真的很愛他。」萊福力帶著溫暖地笑容說道。
