今天读到一篇特别暖心，特别有营养的文章，很想跟大家分享一下。
I was just in France to visit my grandmother who is very dear to me. （我到法国去拜访我亲爱的奶奶）I don't get to cross the Atlantic very often, （我平时不经常跨大西洋去看她）and she's now 96 years old,（她已经96岁了） so every time I visit her, （因此我每次拜访她）the two of us are very aware that it might be the last time we see each other.（我们俩都清楚的知道不定哪一次就是我们见面的最后一次） Last year, I did a series of short video interviews about her life. （去年，我对她的一生做了视频采访）I asked her what it was like growing up with her father in the 1910s, （我问她在二十世纪初怎样由父亲抚养大的）and living alone with two young children.（以及自己一个人怎样把两个孩子抚养大的） I asked her about her greatest memories, （我问她一生中最美好的回忆是什么）and her favorite books,（最喜欢的书是什么） foods, etc.（还有食物等等） I learned a lot of amazing new things about her I had never known before. （我了解到很多原来不知道的事情）These were very intimate conversations, which made me know her better.（这些亲密无间的谈话让我更了解了她。） This year, I did not really have questions（今年，我真的没有什么想问的问题） and I only had a great desire to make her know how much I loved her.（我只想让她知道我有多爱她） I cooked for her and read her stories. （我给她做饭给她读故事）I gave her a foot massage （给她做足部按摩), which was her first ever! （这也是她所经历的第一次）Before leaving, I was looking for a way to leave something meaningful behind besides the memory of our time together. （离开她之前，我想找种方式留下除了我俩在一起的美好回忆之外有意义的东西）Therefore, I wrote her five different love notes, （因此，我给她写了五张爱的小纸条）and hid them in different places where I knew she would eventually find them.（把它们分别藏在不同的地方，我知道她一定会发现它们。） I left really joyously knowing that these cards would surely cheer her up after I left. （我非常高兴的离开了她，心里非常清楚这些卡片一定会让她很欢喜。）She called me as I was travelling back to Paris to catch my plane back to the US（在我去巴黎坐飞机的路上她给我打电话） and said, “I found your cards!（说：“我找到你的卡片了。”） By the time I discovered the last one, I was laughing out loud! （“找到最后一个的时候，把我笑坏了！”Thank you so much, my sweetheart!”（“谢谢你，我的小甜心！”） I smiled to myself, knowing she still had two more to go!（我不由自主的笑了，知道她还有两个没有找到。） It was Sunday, so my guess was that she had not checked her mailbox and had not yet driven her car!（因为是星期天，我猜她还没有检查邮箱也没有开车吧！）
现在的人智商越来越高，但情商却越来越低，也可能是生活的快节奏让人无暇顾及别人尤其是亲人的感受。可是，越是忙忙碌碌的日子大家越需要亲人的关怀啊！如果自己的情商不高或者不善言辞不知道怎样去表达对亲人的爱和关怀，不妨学学这个故事的主人公，用卡片的形式，让生活中处处充满爱，让亲人的脸上多一点笑容，心里多一些温暖！
