An envelope一个信封

Love, Mom
爱你的妈妈
I still have the bear and the little ring. And Nick did get his teepee. I smile at the memories and place my letter for Nick in an envelope to mail to him. I hope reading it will remind him what a miracle he is and how blessed I feel to be his mother.
我到现在还保留着那个小熊和那枚小小的戒指。尼克后来也得到了他的帐篷。想到这一段往事，我欣然微笑，然后把这封我写给尼克的信装进了一个信封里，准备寄给尼克。我希望他读这封信时能够知晓：他是怎样的一个奇迹；而作为他的妈妈，我又何其有幸！
Also tucked inside the “Nick” box was a little Zip-lock bag with a tiny baby tooth.“Nick's first tooth” was written in marker on the bag, and a folded piece of lined grade-school13) handwriting paper was stapled14) to the bag. I carefully removed the paper and read the note in his awkward, just-learning-how-to-write printing.
在这个“尼克”盒子里，还塞有一个小自封袋，里面是一颗小小的乳牙。袋子的标签上写着“尼克的第一颗牙”。和袋子订在一起的还有一张折起来的纸，这是一张小学生练写字用的横格纸。我很小心地把纸拆了下来，这是尼克写的一张小条，字体有些笨拙，一看就是刚开始学写字的孩子写的。纸条上写着：
Dear Tooth Fairy15),
亲爱的牙齿仙女：
I love you. Please leave me a lot of money.
我爱你。请给我好多好多钱吧。
From your best friend, Nick.
你最好的朋友，尼克
P.S. Don't keep my tooth.
另：请把我的牙齿还给我吧。
I laughed until I cried. How I missed my little guy!
我哈哈大笑起来，直笑得后来泪流满面。我多么怀念我的小家伙啊！
Now twenty-one, Nick has his own life and a fiancée. I know it won't be long before he has children of his own. I pictured him with a little one on his knee, helping her write her first letter to the Tooth Fairy.
尼克现在21岁了，有了自己的生活，还有了未婚妻。我知道，很快他也会有自己的孩子。我想象着有一个小宝贝坐在他的膝上，他抱着她，帮她给牙齿仙女写第一封信。
Each page in his school years book had a small school photo for that grade glued to it. If I flipped the pages fast, like a homemade cartoon flip-book, I could see the transformation from pre-school to a senior in high school. It was like watching him morph16) into an adult right before my eyes.
在他学校纪念册的每一页上，都贴有一张小照片，对应他上的年级。要是我像翻自制的手翻动画书那样快速地翻这本册子，我就能看到尼克从学前班到高中毕业的每一步变化。这感觉就像是我眼瞅着他在我面前长大成人。
This unexpected trip down memory lane was the best way I could think of to spend my Saturday. This is one box I will never unpack and put away. It's definitely one to keep close by and on days when my heart longs for my first-born, I will dig it out, open a box of tissues, and let the memories come home again.
这次不经意间的重温往事是我能想到的度过这个周六的最好办法。这是一个我永远不会打开之后就束之高阁的盒子。这无疑是一个要随时随地放在身边的盒子，当我想念我第一个孩子的时候，我会把它拿出来，再打开一盒纸巾，让记忆再次慢慢地涌上心头。
