Ochii i s-au umplut de lacrimi \u00een clipa \u00een care a ridicat capacul portbagajului.<\/p>\n
\u00cen fa\u021ba ei, se aflau mai multe pungi de h\u00e2rtie frumos \u00eempachetate, fiecare legat\u0103 cu panglici colorate. \u00centr-una erau conserve, paste, biscui\u021bi, lapte praf \u0219i sticle de ap\u0103 \u2013 provizii pentru cel pu\u021bin o s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103. \u00cen alta, haine noi pentru copii, cu etichetele \u00eenc\u0103 pe ele.

\u00centr-un col\u021b, bine pus deoparte, era un alt plic. \u00cel deschise cu m\u00e2ini tremur\u00e2nde \u0219i g\u0103si \u00een interior o h\u00e2rtie pliat\u0103 \u0219i… 2.000 de dolari \u00een bancnote curate. Pe h\u00e2rtie era un mesaj scris de m\u00e2n\u0103: \u201eNu \u0219tiu prin ce ai trecut, dar pot s\u0103-mi imaginez. Am crescut cu o mam\u0103 care a luptat singur\u0103 pentru noi. Acesta e pentru \u00eenceputul vostru. S\u0103 ai grij\u0103 de tine \u0219i de \u00eengera\u0219ii t\u0103i.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Jeff.<\/p>\n Jennifer c\u0103zu \u00een genunchi, cople\u0219it\u0103.
