题目内容
1.One morning,my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car."I guess filling my thermos(保温瓶) is all that I have left to do,and then I'm off."Down the drain(下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.With a nostalgic(怀旧的) look on his face,he softly said:"Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom."The tone in his voice was so tender(温柔的) as he spoke of my mother,who is sadly no longer with us.
"Oh honey,I know she's watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,"I responded,tears in my eyes.
One morning years ago when we were leaving,mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos.Mom then casually said,‘Jerry,if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while,your coffee would stay hot for longer then."With her simple suggestion,his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense.Well,of course it would!
He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water.Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee.Mom smiled as Jerry did so.
Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact(影响) that will never be forgotten.She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.
