2. To my Charley on his wedding day:

I know you think these notes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer, I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I

would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring！

What I want to say to you, Charley, is that you are marrying a wonderful girl. I think of Catherine in many ways like I think of Roberta. Like a daughter. She is sweet and patient. You should be the same with her, Charley.

Here is what you are going to find out about marriage: you have

to work at it together. And have to love three things. You have to love

1) Each other.

2) Your children (when you have some).

3) Your marriage.

What I mean by that last one is, there may be times that you

fight, and sometimes you and Catherine won’t even like each other. But those are the times you have to love your marriage like a third party. Look at your wedding photos. Look at any memories you’ve made. And if you believe in those memories, they will pull you back together.

I’m very proud of you today, Charley. I am putting this in your tuxedo pocket because I know how you lose things.

I love you every day！

3. When the two Afghan boys arrived，they were seemingly quiet and scared. In an effort to break their silence，I asked Umair if he liked to throw snow balls in winter because I knew the temperatures in their country can reach as low as —10 degrees centigrade. His face turned colorless. “I couldn’t sell the hats and gloves when it snowed. I would just sit in the room and wait for the snow to melt(融化）.How else would I earn the money to feed my family?” My heart sank.

In the days that followed, my husband and I offered to teach them English and mathematics. They were from diverse linguistic (语言的）backgrounds，so teaching them proved to be challenging but a lot of fun. In fact it became a mutual(共同的）experience. I remembered many words which I had not used since graduation.

Having passed through war zones and lived in jungles, the boys treasured the comfort provided to them by their foster carers, whose love made them show more confidence in daily life and exhibit enthusiasm for learning. Such was their hunger for learning that even if five minutes had passed the set time，there was a knock on the door, reminding us to start the lesson.

Another interesting character in this experience was my four-

year-old son. His presence would keep the atmosphere cheerful and light. Learning was a mutual experience for him too. The boys would correct him when he made a mistake in counting, and he would correct the boys when they got wrong in pronunciation.

Teaching these children gave me some very important lessons in life： that a spirit which has the willingness to learn is stronger
