第172期:母亲的智慧（在线收听）

 　　I have always worn my children's birthstones around my neck. One morning, when I was late for work, my infant son Larry's topaz birthstone fell from my gold chain. I frantically searched for it, whispering to myself, "I lost my Larry, but I will get him back."

　　That day, Larry's cardiologist called with test results from one of his first checkups. He would need emergency heart surgery. Happily, the operation was a success, and I whispered in Larry's ear, "I thought I lost you, but I knew I'd get you back."
　　我总是把我孩子的诞生石戴在我的脖子上。一天早上，我上班迟到了，我儿子拉里的诞生石从我的金项链上掉下来。我疯狂地找它，低声对自己说，"我把我的拉里弄丢了，但我会把他找回来的。"
　　那一天，拉里的心脏病专家打电话告诉我们他第一次体检的结果。他需要紧急心脏手术。幸运的是，手术成功了，我在拉里耳边低声说："我以为我把你弄丢了，但我知道我会把你找回来的。"
