"Who knows? Maybe one day, those hardships and pains will become sweet memories, and let us start to learn to be grateful for those setbacks, because they made us who we are in the end."
Everyone is like this. They always imagine that life will go smoothly and everything they want will be accomplished. They always look 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. As time goes by, you may not be able to choose the state of life. At least you can choose the mentality to face life and learn to meet those challenges. Difficulties Learn to face those challenges and then let them be your whetstone to become stronger.
Don't resent those sufferings, because it is those sufferings that have made you who you are now: whether you choose to surrender or choose to fight, the final answer will be different.
Nancy couldn't help but straighten her waist slightly, and her eyes gradually brightened: she also expected that the pain and suffering in the past five years would become the driving force for Miles's growth, and guide Miles to overcome more difficulties and create new things. Create a sky of his own, grow up healthily, and then freely choose his life and become the person he wants to be.
For example, Lu Ke.
"I hope that one day in the future, we can all learn to be grateful for those setbacks and sufferings." Nancy smiled at Lu Ke and said clearly.
After a short pause, Nancy recalled an important thing, "Bambi, there is one more thing. I'm not sure whether this is appropriate, but I have discussed it with Miles's father, and we both feel This is the best option. I have been looking for opportunities to talk to you face to face, but we are not sure when is the best time..."
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 does not want to disturb Lu Ke's preparations. Deep down, she is also looking forward to San Francisco 49 People can once again complete a miraculous counterattack and finally defend their title.
Looking at Nancy, Lu Ke pursed his lips and said, "Well, I'm here now, and I'm ready."
Nancy could detect the ease in Lu Ke's words. She took a deep breath and could tell that this should be a more serious matter, and Lu Ke also became serious.
"That's right. After the Christmas miracle, we have received many charitable donations one after another. Strangers have found us through different channels. Their kindness and enthusiasm are really touching. While we are grateful, we are also grateful. It also makes 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 whether we can accept this kindness."
Seeing what Lu Ke was about to say, Nancy smiled, stopped Lu Ke, and added, "If it weren't for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, if you weren't willing to lend a helping hand, Miles's wish would never have been fulfilled. If possible, they will never know we exist."
"I hope to be able to help more people, just like you helped us. Miles is fine now and everything is fine. I believe there are more people who need help than us." Nancy gradually spoke out about herself "Originally, we planned to establish a foundation in Miles' name, hoping to give back to the society through the foundation, but our idea was a bit too simple, not to mention how much money the foundation could raise. We don’t know how long the fame and popularity of ‘Bat Boy’ will last, and who knows in the Internet age?”
This last sentence made Lu Ke laugh uncontrollably. He could feel that Nancy was hinting that the reason why Lu Ke rarely used social networks was largely because the popularity bubble on social networks was too big and too empty. , it is difficult for ordinary people to escape from the network prison.
But Nancy did not continue on this topic, but continued, "But if we donate this fund to the 'Lu Ke Foundation' in Miles' name, and you manage and operate it, that would be great. However, we also hope to contribute to charity activities in our own way.”
Lu Ke did not 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 gently, "I should have never said that I really admire you, the way you educate Miles, and your attitude towards life. This wisdom is definitely not ordinary. If he can have it, I believe Miles will definitely grow into a warrior."
Nancy laughed, but she was a little shy and reserved, and she didn't know how to respond.
Lu Ke did not wait for Nancy to respond, but continued, "Of course, there is no problem. For the foundation, it is our honor to gain your trust, which also means that our work is on the right track. on the road.”
To be honest, Lu Ke didn't know much about the operation of the foundation. He could basically be said to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Previously, with the help of Laihe, a professional team was hired to be responsible for all the work of the foundation; but even the reporting work was listened to by Laihe, and then he regularly updated Lu Ke's status. That was all.
But judging from the current situation, the "Lu Ke Foundation" is operating in very good condition.
"In fact, the charity auction that will be held today is also to raise funds for the foundation. This is an auction jointly initiated by the players' families. In the end, all the funds will go into the foundation. We all hope to help more people. Many people can at least contribute in their own way.”
Lu Ke's words reminded Nancy, "Ah! Is that the auction held at Stanford? I know that the publicity started three months ago, and I heard that many people from Silicon Valley were invited to attend. Right?"
This is not secret news. In order to plan this charity auction, the San Francisco 49ers officially cooperated in publicity, which can be called one of the major events in January.
After receiving Lu Ke's affirmative reply, Nancy became a little worried, "With such auction specifications... wouldn't it be inappropriate for Miles' items to be included in the auction?"
"Ha, Nancy." Lu Ke chuckled, "The real meaning of the charity auction lies in the heart. The item I donated is just a football. The donated item and the auction amount are not the focus. You should know this. What's more, I believe that Miles' personal belongings will be very popular, as long as they are chosen by him sincerely, it will be the most perfect gift."
Nancy smiled and said, "Bambi, you always know how to persuade others." After a pause, Nancy looked back in the direction of the room, seeming to be worried about Miles's gift selection process. He reacted, "Sorry, sorry! I'm really rude. You came here to visit, but I didn't even invite you to sit in the house, not even a cup of coffee. This is definitely not the right way to treat guests."
"Don't worry, I just got the best gift: Miles' help." Lu Ke said sincerely, being able to see Miles's smile again - and most importantly, being able to see the healthy Miles is healthy and active outdoors, which is the best gift.
"What's more, there are still opportunities in the future. I am very confident that Miles will invite me to be a guest at home." Lu Ke's words made Nancy laugh heartily.
"There is no need to wait for Miles. I sincerely hope that you can come to my home as a guest next time." Nancy took the opportunity to directly extend the invitation.
Lu Ke nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, "Of course, no problem! It's my pleasure!"
"Mom! Bambi! Mom, Mom!" As he spoke, a cheerful shout came from the direction of the room. You could feel the joy and excitement without looking back. Lu Ke and Nancy exchanged a look: They both Knowing who was coming, the smiles on the corners of his mouth rose.
Running in small steps all the way, Miles staggered over and rushed over. He was so excited and excited that his steps were a little unsteady, and finally he stumbled into Nancy's arms—— Nancy opened her arms and caught Miles firmly in a big hug.
"Mom, I picked out the gift!" Miles said impatiently, not wanting to even have time to breathe, and then the words started to flow intermittently, but Nancy did not stop Miles, but said with a smile on her face and full of expectation. Looking at Miles, he signaled that he could continue.
Miles was inspired and took out his "gift", "Mom, can I donate this Batboy suit?"
Lu Ke was a little surprised, and Nancy was also a little surprised: it was the day of the Christmas miracle, and the custom-made suit that Miles wore was very meaningful to the general public; and to Miles, it was also The same is true, but he chose to donate it, which is really rare.
Nan Xiang turned to her son, "Are you sure? I thought this was your favorite battle suit. You wore it for many days in a row and didn't want to take it off even to sleep, right? Now, you decided to put it on Donate it, then if you ask me again in the future, I will have no choice."
Miles reluctantly hugged his Batboy suit and hesitated for a moment, but the reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes were clearly visible.
Neither Lu Ke nor Nancy were in a hurry and gave Miles enough time. Then Miles raised his chin and looked at Nancy with bright eyes, "But Dad said that if you want to donate, you should Choose what I like most, only in this way, others will cherish it. This is the meaning of the gift, just like at Christmas, everyone came to help me realize my wish, and now it is my turn."
Nancy lowered her eyes in embarrassment, her eyes were slightly hot, and tears were shining. Then she raised her hand and gently touched Miles' head, "Yes, you are right."
