    The gifts you receive today will give hints(暗示) of our first big trip that will take place in January．Every quarter there will be a special, secret trip you and I will take up．Many times you won’t know what’s to come; I want you to trust me．Trust that I’m doing what’s right for you and planning events that will be memories for years to come．

    Every month I will sit down with you and talk to you about what it takes to live in this world and how to navigate life in a good way．And during these months my closest friends will teach you the most valuable lessons they’ve learned in life．They will also become your friends and confidants (知己)．

    I will always believe in you and I’ll always be right by your side cheering you on through each and every stage of your life on this Thanksgiving Day．I couldn’t be more thankful to have you in my life．

    I love you!

On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple(夫婦) received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Haydens’ 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. “I’m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,” she said, “I love you.”
Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called “Alive and Well”. The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home.
Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines. So no one can speak to the child of making him return home.
Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home, so children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.
The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape recorded telephone messages and connect the address given. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial(撥) 5675339 and stop a parent’s worry: Is he dead or alive?
