Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You don’t know whether it is true that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 36 .

Then, he spent hours and hours on it 38 it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备).
I could 39 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to 40 the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 41 :” To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 42 lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s promise.
I stood there shocked(震惊的), crying a river, asking myself how my son could 43 this expensive gift.
Of course, the house awoke, and my son was very pleased with my reaction(反应). Many kisses were exchanged, and I immediately wanted him to 44 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not exactly what I was expecting. Then I 45 that 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 wanted you to know, that kind of love is 46 present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to 47 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
