The Sweetest Sight
I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.
It was an amazing week for my husband and me –the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to our two children and started off.
During the week’s time, visited London and Paris –as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.
On our last night in Paris, we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother the phone. In a second, my husband’s face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something happened.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He didn’t answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.
At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).
“I don’t want to be here! I shouldn’t be here! I should be home my kids!”
We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …
Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children’s bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no sight(风景)in the world than your children’s faces that greet you at home.
