After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.

Dear son,

  I want to thank you for teaching me a very __1__ lesson in life by the great example you __2__. When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had __3__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any __4__, you went over and put the __5__ $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you __6__ threw a fivecent coin onto the pavement and said__7__  like, “Some kid will really enjoy __8__ this.”

   Last week,a young man __9__ me in the line at a petrol station didn't have__10__  money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector,“How much __11__ is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car __12__ he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 __13__, which came to just over __14__. That is an easy mistake __15__ both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and __16__ you did that night at the caré in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so __17__ and said,“But why would you do this for me?”I just smiled as I thought of you.

   Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it's __18__ to give than receive”. Now when I see a fivecent coin on the __19__ and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it __20__, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

                      Love always,

Mum

In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that were

left were the ugly black ones.

In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared his or her lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.

In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your childhood stuff so that your room would be a “middle school student’s” room, but didn’t laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.

In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who came to comfort you when you broke up with someone.

In the twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a university, assured you that you would get into that university and helped you deal with your parents, who were having a hard time to adjust to letting you go.

At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.

Now , your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices; holds your hand when you are scared; thinks of you when you are not there; reminds you of what you have forgotten; helps you put the past behind you, but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer; stays with you so that you have confidence; goes out of their way to make time for you; helps you clear up your mistakes; helps you deal with pressure from others; smiles for you when you sad; helps you become a better person; and ______, loves you!

Thank you for being a friend. No matter where we go or who we become, never forget who helped us get here.
