Brenda Schmitz wrote a letter with three wishes right before she died, but asked a friend not to mail it until her husband had fallen in love again.
布蘭達(dá)·施米茨去世前寫了一封信,信中表達(dá)了自己的三個(gè)心愿,她將信交給一位朋友,請朋友在她的丈夫重新尋得愛情之時(shí)將信寄出。
Brenda Schmitz, a wife and mother of four boys, passed away from ovarian cancer in September 2011.
布蘭達(dá)在2011年九月因卵巢癌去世,留下了丈夫和四個(gè)兒子。
A month before she died, Brenda wrote a letter to the Des Moines, Iowa, radio station “Star”. She asked a friend to wait to mail it until her husband, David, had fallen in love again.
在她去世前一個(gè)月的時(shí)候,她給位于美國衣阿華州得梅因的一個(gè)名為“星空”的廣播臺廣播臺寫了一封信。她請一位朋友在她的丈夫大衛(wèi)重又墜入愛河的時(shí)候再將信寄出。
Every year, the station takes submissions for Christmas wishes, granting a select few. The station brought in David and surprised him by saying they had received a letter from his wife.
這個(gè)廣播臺每年都會收到人們寄來的圣誕愿望,廣播臺會幫助其中一些人實(shí)現(xiàn)愿望。廣播臺請來了大衛(wèi),告訴他廣播臺收到了一封來自他妻子的信,大衛(wèi)感到驚奇不已。
“When you are in receipt of this letter, I will have already lost my battle to ovarian cancer,” Brenda wrote. “I told [my friend] once my loving husband David had moved on in his life and had met someone to share his life with again, to mail this letter to all of you at the station.”
“當(dāng)你們收到這封信的時(shí)候,我可能已經(jīng)被卵巢癌打敗了?!辈继m達(dá)寫道,“我告訴我的朋友,請她在我摯愛的丈夫能夠重新開始生活,并且找到了另一個(gè)愿意與他共同生活的人的時(shí)候,將這封信寄給你們廣播臺?!?/div>
Brenda’s first request was a day of pampering for David’s new love, Jayne Abraham, who he met in October 2012. “She deserves it, being a stepmother to all those boys,” Brenda wrote. “Make her smile and know her efforts are truly appreciated from me.”
布蘭達(dá)的第一個(gè)愿望是讓大衛(wèi)的新愛人,杰恩·亞伯拉罕享受一次休閑療養(yǎng)日。大衛(wèi)是在2012年10月份遇到杰恩的。布蘭達(dá)寫道:“當(dāng)四個(gè)男孩的繼母是很辛苦的,她值得擁有這樣的一天。請讓她開心,讓她知道我非常感激她所做的一切?!?/div>
Brenda also asked for a “magical trip” for the family, and lastly, a night out full of drinks, food, and fun for the cancer doctors at the Hospital where she was treated.
布蘭達(dá)的第二個(gè)愿望是一家人一起參加一次“魔幻之旅”,第三個(gè)愿望是讓那些曾經(jīng)為她治療的醫(yī)院醫(yī)生享受一次吃喝玩樂的夜間聚會。
“We’ve been doing the Christmas Wish program for 20-plus years. We’ve never received a wish like this, ever,” station manager Scott Allen said.
廣播臺經(jīng)理司各特·艾倫說道,“我們開展這樣的圣誕愿望活動(dòng)已經(jīng)有20多年了。我們從未收到過如此感人的圣誕愿望,從來沒有過?!?/div>
All three of Brenda’s wishes were granted by the station and local sponsors, who sent the family of eight to Disney World. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the room when we got [the letter],” Allen said. “It really inspired us to do something for her.”
