10、, I heard my husband talking to the organ donor coordinator（器官捐助协调员）.We knew that Stacey would want that because thats the kind of person she was. She always wanted to assist people. She was always smiling and brought so much joy to others. She was friendly and enjoyed writing stories and poetry.It

11、has been a comfort to know that Stacey lives on in the lives of others. I have even met the family of one of Staceys kidney recipients (接受人). This little girl was 6 years old at the time of the transplant. She was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome. I saw pictures showing the effects of the Nephrotic

18、p: Youd be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.Gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. But do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them All the research Ive done has convinced me that it wont happen. One mom told me that when she asked h

19、er 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But thats what moms should do.” From a teenagers angle, its a parents responsibility to take care of the family. According to Dunham, Yales assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer s

20、omething given freely and voluntarily”its just mom and dad living up to their obligation. Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. But kids cant know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they dont

21、learn that by a parent complaining that theyre ungrateful. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isnt about stuffwhich ultimately cant make any of us happy anyway. Its about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forwa

22、rd.You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how its distributed. Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, its much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine

23、at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we
