Dear
Laura,
I just
heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish(无私的) love in your program. You doubted that
such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 21
.
I wanted
to do something very 22 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has
always been the perfect child. He 23 all summer to earn
enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 24
it looked almost new. I was so 25 of him that I
bought him the shiniest helmet（头盔） and
riding outfit（全套装备）.
I could 26
wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night
before. Upon wakening, I went to the kitchen to 27 the
coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard
with a 28 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so 29
. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a
piano so that I could 30 lessons. “Learn to play the piano,
and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 31 .
I stood
there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 32 this
expensive gift.
Of course,
the 33 awoke, and my son
was thrilled with(对…感到激动) my reaction. Many
kisses were 34 , and I immediately wanted him to 35 my
gift.
As he saw
the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 36 what
I was expecting. Then I 37 that he had sold the motorcycle
to get me the keyboard.
Of course
I was the proudest mother 38 on that day, and my feet never
hit the ground for a month.
So I
wanted you to know, that kind of love still 39 and lives
even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought
you’d love to 40 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S. The
next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.
