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 ____.
I wanted to do something very ___ for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He ____ all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it ___ it looked almost new. I was so ____ of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.(一套服装)
I could ____ wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I hardly slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to start the coffee, tea, and morning food. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a __: “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so __. It had been a long-standing (长期存在的) joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could ____ lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one.” was my husband’s response.(反应)
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could ____ this expensive gift.
Of course, the house awoke, and my son was excited with my reaction. Many kisses were ____, and I immediately wanted him to ___ my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not ____ what I was expecting. Then I ____ that he has sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still exists(存在) and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to __ this story with me.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.
