1729 Precious Gifts
"Who knows? Maybe one day, those hardships and pains will also become sweet memories, and we will begin to learn to be grateful for those setbacks, because they made us who we finally are. ”
Everyone is like this, always fantasizing that life can be smooth sailing, and always looking forward to life being carefree and smooth sailing. Indeed, this is the most perfect state; The reality is that life is always full of ups and downs and setbacks, little by little grinding the years, maybe you can't choose the state of life, at least you can choose the mentality of facing life, learn to meet those difficulties, learn to face those challenges, and then let them become your own more powerful whetstone.
Don't resent those sufferings, because it is those sufferings that make you who you are: whether you choose to give in or choose to fight, the final answer will be different.
Nancy couldn't help straightening her waist slightly, and her eyes gradually brightened: she also looked forward to the pain and suffering of the past five years to become the driving force for Miles' growth, guiding Miles to overcome more difficulties, create a sky of his own, grow up healthy and healthy, and then freely choose his life and become the person he wants to become.
For example, Lu Ke.
"I hope that one day in the future, we can all learn to appreciate those setbacks and sufferings." Nancy smiled at Lu Ke and said clearly.
After a slight pause, Nancy recalled something important, "Bambi, there's one more thing, I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I've discussed it with Miles' dad, and we both think it's the best option. I've always wanted to look for opportunities to talk to you face-to-face, but we're not sure when the best time is ......."
Because Lu Ke has been working hard for the playoffs, the whole team and the whole city are working together to sprint for the playoffs, she doesn't want to disturb Lu Ke's preparations, and deep down, she also looks forward to the San Francisco 49ers being able to complete a miraculous counterattack again and finally defend the title.
Looking at Nancy, Lu Ke pursed the corners of his mouth, "Then, I'm here now, I'm ready." ”
Nancy could sense the ease in Lu Ke's words, she took a deep breath, and could perceive that this should be a more serious matter, and even Lu Ke became serious.
"That's right. After the Christmas miracle, we received a lot of charitable donations, strangers found us through different channels, their kindness and enthusiasm was really touching, we were grateful, but it also made us panic, this kindness is beyond our imagination, after all, we are not important people, we are just ordinary people, and I am not sure if we can accept this kindness. ”
Seeing that Lu Ke wanted to say something, Nancy showed a smile, stopped Lu Ke, and added, "If it weren't for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, if it weren't for your willingness to lend a hand, Miles' wish would never have come true, and they would never have known about our existence." ”
"I want to be able to help as many people as you did when you helped us. Myers is fine now, everything is fine, and I'm sure there are more people than we need to help with. Nancy gradually expressed her thoughts, "Originally, we were going to set up a foundation in the name of Miles, hoping to give back to the society through the foundation, but our idea was a little too simple, not to mention how much money the foundation can raise, we don't know how long the reputation and popularity of the 'Bat Boy' will last, and who knows what will happen in the Internet age?" ”
This last sentence made Lu Ke laugh uncontrollably, he could feel that Nancy seemed to be hinting at the reason why Lu Ke rarely used social networks, largely because the popularity bubble on social networks was too big and too empty, and it was difficult for ordinary people to escape the mystery of the Internet cage.
But Nancy didn't continue on the topic, but continued, "But if we donate this fund to the 'Lu Ke Foundation' in Miles's name, it would be great if you would manage and run it, and we also hope to do our part for charity activities in our own way." ”
Lu Ke didn't answer immediately, but looked at Nancy quietly, which made Nancy full of confusion and slightly nervous, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Ke showed a smile and shook his head slightly, "I shouldn't have said it, I really admire you, the way you educate Miles, and your attitude towards life, this wisdom is definitely not something ordinary people can have, I believe that Miles will definitely be able to grow into a warrior." ”
Nancy laughed, but she was a little shy and reserved, and she didn't know how to respond.
Lu Ke didn't wait for Nancy's response, but continued, "Of course, there is no problem. It is an honour for the Foundation to have your trust, and it means that our work is on the right path. ”
To be honest, Lu Ke doesn't know much about the operation of the foundation, and he can basically be said to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Previously, with the help of Lech, a team of professionals was hired to take care of all the work of the Foundation; But even the report was listened to by Lech, and then regularly told Lu Ke to update the status, and that's all.
However, judging from the current situation, the operation of the "Lu Ke Foundation" is very good.
"In fact, today's upcoming charity auction is also a fundraiser for the Foundation, which is an auction jointly initiated by the families of the players, and eventually all the funds will go to the Foundation, and we all hope to help more people, at least in our own way."
Lu Ke's words made Nancy think, "Ah! Is that the auction at Stanford? I know, it's been promoting since three months ago, and I've heard that a lot of Silicon Valley people have been invited to attend, right? ”
This is not secret news, in order to plan this charity auction, San Francisco 49 officials also cooperated with the publicity, which can be called one of the highlights of January.
After getting Lu Ke's affirmative reply, Nancy became a little worried, "The specifications of such an auction are ...... Wouldn't it be appropriate for Miles' items to be included in the auction? ”
"Hah, Nancy." Lu Ke chuckled, "The real meaning of the charity auction lies in the heart, the item I donated is just a rugby ball, the donated items and the auction amount are not the point, you should know this." What's more, I'm sure Miles' personal belongings will be very popular, as long as they are sincerely selected by him, they will be the perfect gift. ”
Nancy smiled, "Bambi, you always know how to convince someone. After a pause, Nancy looked back in the direction of the room, as if worried about Miles' selection of gifts, before she reacted, "Sorry, sorry!" I'm really rude that you came to visit, and I didn't even invite you into the house to sit down, not even a cup of coffee, which is definitely not the right way to treat guests. ”
"Don't worry, I've just gotten the best hospitality gift ever: Miles' favor." Lu Ke said sincerely, being able to see Miles' smile again - most importantly, being able to see a healthy Miles being outdoors is the best gift.
"What's more, there are opportunities in the future. I was so confident that Myers would invite me to our home. Lu Ke's words made Nancy laugh heartily.
"Don't wait for Miles, and I sincerely hope that you will be able to visit your home next time." Nancy took the opportunity to send out the invitation directly.
Lu Ke nodded again and again with a smile on his face, "Of course, there is no problem!" My pleasure! ”
"Mom! Bambi! Mommy, Mommy! As he spoke, a cheerful shout came from the direction of the room, and he didn't need to look back to feel the excitement and excitement, Lu Ke and Nancy exchanged a look: they both knew who was coming, and then the smiles on the corners of their mouths rose.
Running in small steps, Miles staggered over, so excited and excited that his steps were a little unsteady, and finally stumbled into Nancy's arms, who opened her arms and caught Miles with a big embrace.
"Mom, I've picked out a gift!" Miles didn't even want to take a breather, he couldn't wait, and then the words began to be staccato, but Nancy didn't stop Miles, but looked at Miles with a smile and anticipation, signaling that he could continue.
Miles was inspired and pulled out his "gift", "Mom, can I donate this Bat Boy suit?" ”
Lu Ke was a little surprised, and Nancy was also a little surprised: it was actually the day of the Christmas miracle, and the custom suit that Miles was wearing was very meaningful to the general public; The same is true for Miles, but he chose to donate it, which is really rare.
Nan Hope turned to his son, "Are you sure?" I thought it was your favorite suit, and you wore it for days on end, and you wouldn't even take it off when you went to sleep, didn't you? Now, you decide to donate it, then if you ask me again in the future, I can't do anything. ”
Miles reluctantly hugged his bat boy suit, hesitated for a moment, but the reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes were clearly visible.
Lu Ke and Nancy were not in a hurry, and gave Miles enough time, and then Miles raised his chin and looked at Nancy with bright eyes, "But Dad said that if you want to donate, you should choose my favorite thing, only in this way, others will cherish it very much." That's what the gift is about, just like when everyone came to help me make my wish come true at Christmas, now it's my turn. ”
Nancy lowered her eyes a little embarrassed, her eyes were slightly hot, and tears were glistening, and then she raised her hand and gently touched Miles's head, "Yes, you're right." ”
