Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you .

I wanted to do something very for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it it looked almost new. I was so of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

I could wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a :“To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

I was so . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s .

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could this expensive gift.

Of course, the awoke, and my son was thrilled(激动的)with my reaction. Many kisses were , and I immediately wanted him to my gift.

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not what I was expecting. Then I 57 that he has sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

Of course I was the proudest mother on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to this story.

Yours,

Hilary
