Dear Dr. Laura,
I always enjoy listening to your radio program. I enjoyed your story about gift giving and unselfish (无私的) love. Some people doubt that such unselfish love exists in today's world. Well, I'm here to give them hope.
I wanted to do something very special for my fifteenyearold son Tom, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then he spent hours and hours repairing it until it looked almost new.
I bought him the shiniest helmet (头盔) and a set of riding clothes to wear. I could hardly wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn't get any sleep the night before.
Upon waking, I went into the kitchen to start making the coffee and tea. When I looked into the living room, I saw a beautiful keyboard and a note: “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
It had been a longstanding joke in our home that I wanted a piano so that I could take lessons. My husband's answer was “learn to play the piano, and I'll get you one.”
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could afford this extravagant gift. Of course, everyone woke up, including Tom, and I immediately asked him to open my special gift. When he saw the helmet and clothes, he had a strange look on his face. Then I realized what had happened. He had 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 want people to know, that kind of love still exists and lives even in the world. I thought you'd love to share this story with your listeners.
A very proud parent
