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 1 .
I wanted to do something very 2 for my fifteen-year-old son,who has always been the perfect child.He 3 all summer to earn enough money to buy an used motorcycle.Then,he spent hours and hours on it 4 it looked almost new.I was so 5 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could 6 wait for him to open up his gift.In fact,I barely slept the night before.Upon awakening,I went to the kitchen to 7 the coffee,tea,and morning goodies.In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 8 :“To my wonderful mother,all my love,your son.”
I was so 9 .It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 10 lessons.“Learn to play the piano,and I’ll get you one”was my husband's 11 .
I stood there shocked,crying a river,asking myself how my son could 12 this expensive gift.
Of course,the 13 awoke,and my son was thrilled(激动的)with my reaction.Many kisses were 14 ,and I immediately wanted him to 15 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit,the look on his face was not 16 what I was expecting.Then I 17 that he had sold he motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 18 on that day,and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know,that kind of love still 19 and lives even in the everchanging world of me,me,me!
I thought you'd love to 20 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S.The next day,my husband and I bought him a new“used”already shiny motorcycle.
