我们努力想让子女生活得更好,最终却事与愿违。对我的孙儿们,我知道怎么做才会更好。
我很想让他们知道,兄长传给我的旧衣服,小时候吃过的家里自制的冰淇淋,以及吃剩的肉糕。我的确很想讲给他们听。
我的宝贝孙子,我希望你在遭遇失败后懂得谦逊,也希望你能诚实,即使没有人注意你。
我希望你能学会整理床铺,修剪草坪,清洗汽车,也希望当你满16岁时,没有人送你新轿车。
我希望你能有幸目睹一次牛犊出生的过程,或者在你不得不为老狗送终时有朋友陪伴。
我希望你能为自己的信仰与别人打得鼻青脸肿。
我希望你能和弟弟分享同一间卧室——即使你在卧室中间画一条分界线也无所谓。当弟弟因为害怕要钻进你的被窝时,我希望你能收留他。
还有,当你要去看迪斯尼电影,而弟弟想跟你一起去时,我希望你能带上他。
