My teen-age daughter was preparing to return home after having visited her grandparents for a few weeks one summer. Her grandfather gave her 12 post cards .

  "Here, write us a few lines every month," he said.

   Months passed and the cards remained unused-that is until the day this letter arrived:

   As a married man, I looked forward to becoming a father-that happened.

32.十二张卡片

 

  一个夏天,我十多岁的女儿在她祖父母家过了几周。她准备回家时,祖父给了她十二张卡片。

  “每月给我们来个短信,”他说。

  几个月过去了,可卡片一直放在那儿没用----直到有一天来了这样一封信:

  “亲爱的詹妮芙:

  生活是一系列阶段组成的。

  还是个孩子的时候,我期待着成为一个青少年----我如愿以偿了。

  还是个年轻人的时候,我期待着遇到一个年轻的女人,恋爱、结婚----我如愿以偿了。

  结了婚,我便期待着成为一个父亲----我如愿以偿了。

  作为父亲,我期待着成为一个祖父,有漂亮、聪明的孙儿孙女----我也如愿以偿了。

  接着,我期待着有一天他们能给我写信----我却还没有如愿以偿。

  爱你的 祖父”
