When I was approaching 50, I announced to my three grown children that I no longer wanted to celebrate my birthday and that they could phone me instead of sending a gift. At first they protested, but finally they agreed to go along with my wish. So when the doorbell rang on the morning of my birthday, I was surprised to see the florist delivering a huge, beautiful plant. Suddenly, without a word, she rushed back to the truck and , with a sad look, turned once to glance at me. Puzzled, I read the card attached to the plant: "To Mom-with lots of love-on your very last birthday.

最后的生日
接近五十歲的時候，我對我的三個成年孩子宣布說我不再想慶祝我的生日，并說他們可以給我打電話，不要再送禮物。開始他們反對，但終于他們同意隨我愿。所以我生日那天早上門鈴響的時候，我驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)花店營業(yè)員送來一束又大又美的鮮花。突然她一聲不響地跑回到車上，并回過頭來悲哀地看了我一眼。我感到納悶，我看了一下花上的卡片，上面寫著：獻給媽媽----無盡的愛----在您最后的生日里。
