亲爱的孩子,
我很遗憾不能救出你的父亲。但是,如果时光能够倒流,我还是会先救出你的。如果我先救出的是你父亲,而不是你,无论对我还是对你父亲来说,那都将是更糟糕的事情。
你父亲遭遇的是一个突发事故。他甘愿用自己的生命去拯救你。是你和你父亲的共同努力才让你逃脱了那天的海浪。他是活在你生命中的真正英雄。永远不要忘记这一点。尽管我知道你还太年轻,不能完全理解这些,但是,要继续走下去的是你自己的生活。
当我们在你房间里聊天时,你曾经问我:"cool,到底意味着什么?"答案应该是:爱并尊重你的母亲,保护你的姐姐,并像你父亲那样地勇敢。
如果你能够去做这几件事情,能够心中保持诚实和慷慨,而且,能够在任何需要的时候给我打电话,,,那你就会很cool了。
Dear Boy
I am very sorry I was unable to save your father. However, if I could go back again, I still would have saved you. If I had saved your father and not you, it would have been worse, not only for me but for your father.
What happened to your father was an accident. He risked his life trying to save you. It was the effort of both you and your father that saved you from the ocean that day. He is the true hero in your life. Never forget that. I know you are very young and do not understand, but it is your life that must continue.
You asked me when we were in your room talking, “What does it mean to be cool?” The answer to that would be, is to love and respect your mother, to protect your sister, and to be brave like your father.
If you do those things and have honesty and generosity in your life, as well as, call me whenever you need... that’s what would be cool.
