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 36 .
I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen - year - old
son, who has always been the perfect child. He 38 all summer to
earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and
hours on it 39 it looked almost new. I was so 40 of him that
I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could 41 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 42 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 43: "To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son."
I was so 44 . It had been a long - standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 45 lessons. "L earn to play the piano, and I'll get you one" was my husband's 46 .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 47 this expensive gift.
Of course, the 48 awoke, and my son was thrilled(激动的)with my reaction. Many kisses were 49 , and I immediately wanted him to 50 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 51 what I was expecting. Then I 52 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 53 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month. So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 54 and lives even in the ever - changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you'd love to 55 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 38 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 39 with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the "have-nots". Or so we thought.
40 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people
43 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week
in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45 had been received and sorted.
As 46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 47 and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 52 we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 54 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you 55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan
