My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn't have a father at home on Father's Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved(be worth) a present on Father's Day than her?
I bought her a little set of tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers(钳子) and screwdriver(螺丝起子) and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother's Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father's Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father's Day memories better than the Mother's Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father's Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.

| When the idea of going to Beirut (贝鲁特) first came to my mind in 2001, I thought something was going wrong with me. I had always thought Beirut was a war-torn (战争创伤的) place with rude and hungry people running all over. But I was wrong. The airport in Beirut was just like any airport you could find in Canada and the United States. Everything was clean and new. The people there were very helpful and very kind. The streets of Beirut were not what I had expected. I thought it would be a terrible place with broken buildings and things of that kind. Instead I saw a beautiful city with tall buildings and busy streets filled with laughing people who were very friendly and understanding of my foreign ways. I thought that their way of life would be different, their clothes and their food. I was right about one thing --- their food was different but it was amazing. However, they have different kinds of western foods and western restaurants. Their clothing is exactly the same. Their language is beautiful and they live a happy life. English and French are widely spoken. I have visited Beirut four times after that and I plan to go there again. | |||||||||||||||
