Mum went to Peter’s bed and said, “I want to borrow Tim’s radio for you.” Peter touched the letter in his pocket and said, “Thanks, Mum ! But you are so tired now.” “Today I want to send you a special gift on the radio. It will surprise you. I will come back soon.” Mum said and quickly left in the heavy snow.

Peter took out the letter. He got it in the afternoon. Mum didn’t know about it. Mum wrote in the letter: The 26^th of this month is my son Peter’s birthday. Could you please bless(祝福）him on Happy Family? He has been ill for one month. The radio station wrote on the top: I’m sorry to tell you that we have canceled(取消） this program.

Mum came back with a radio. She walked very slowly. There were lots of snow on her clothes. And the program began quickly.

Next Peter got very surprised. “Originally(原来），we planned to cancel this program, but lots of people like it very much. Now, let’s bless the following people together, Kate, Martin, Linda...”The list was long. Mum was too tired and she fell asleep. Peter didn’t hear his name to the end. But he was quite moved(被感动). He woke up Mum, “Mum, I heard my name just now. They said I am a very good boy. I am very happy. Thank you for your nice birthday gift, Mum!” Mum smiled with tears. Peter also smiled with tears. He believed it was the best birthday gift for him.

When my wife left this world, I chose to travel in Antigua looking for a peaceful place to rest my old body. Not quite old and weak, I felt I wanted something more than the usual hotel room with 24-hour room service.
I decided this year to try something completely new and booked myself a private holiday home in Antigua. This was the best decision I had ever made, as there was plenty to do, plenty to see and lots of lovely restaurants to visit. There was a private swimming pool, and a cool, wide yard where I ate my breakfast most mornings.
Antigua has to be one of the loveliest places on earth to spend a holiday. The bright blue sea and the endless blue around the beach areas proved to be an excellent place for me to spend the long afternoons.
I had to hurry to do what I wanted to do before the holiday came to an end. I managed to visit the Sugar Mill and Shirley Heights on my last two days and yet found myself wondering whether I could extend for a few more days.
I rented a boat and came home after a day’s sailing, refreshed, looking forward to dinner. Everything is so pleasant on these beautiful islands, swept by the trade winds and warmed by the sun for so many summer months. The food just tasted better to me, perhaps because I was having such a great holiday. There was always someone to have a drink with---- that’s what I liked most.
