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(全套装备).

I could    wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to      the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. 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 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      .

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could        this expensive gift.

Of course, the        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        never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still        and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to        this story.

Yours,

Hilary
