第172期:母亲的智慧(在线收听

   I have always worn my children's birthstones around my neck. One morning, when I was late for work, my infant son Larry's topaz birthstone fell from my gold chain. I frantically searched for it, whispering to myself, "I lost my Larry, but I will get him back."

  That day, Larry's cardiologist called with test results from one of his first checkups. He would need emergency heart surgery. Happily, the operation was a success, and I whispered in Larry's ear, "I thought I lost you, but I knew I'd get you back."
  我总是把我孩子的诞生石戴在我的脖子上。一天早上,我上班迟到了,我儿子拉里的诞生石从我的金项链上掉下来。我疯狂地找它,低声对自己说,"我把我的拉里弄丢了,但我会把他找回来的。"
  那一天,拉里的心脏病专家打电话告诉我们他第一次体检的结果。他需要紧急心脏手术。幸运的是,手术成功了,我在拉里耳边低声说:"我以为我把你弄丢了,但我知道我会把你找回来的。"
