天天都是母親節：男子30年來每日寫信祝福母親大綱
There’s no doubt that Mike Geraci loves his mother. He’s been showing her how much by writing her a letter a day — and sending it by snail mail — for the last 30 years.
麥克（Mike Geraci）很愛他母親，這點毫無疑問。因爲，他無時不刻都在展現這一點：他每天都給媽媽寫一封信，而且還是人工郵寄，而且已經堅持了30年。
Eleven thousand letters later, the software engineer from Portsmouth, N.H., has no plans to slow down.
即使已寫了1萬1千多封信，這位來自朴茨茅斯的軟件工程師仍未覺得滿足。
“You should appreciate the ones you love and show your appreciation because you never know. One day they might not be there,” Geraci said in an interview with ABC’s New Hampshire affiliate, WMUR.
“你應該感謝那些你熱愛的人，並不吝表達出來。因爲，說不定突然有一天他們就會消失不見。”麥克在接受ABC下屬的WMUR電視臺採訪時說道。
His mother, Gloria Britt, is appreciative, but says, “I could never do that, sit down and write every day. He’s lucky to get a letter from me once a year.”
麥克的母親叫格洛麗亞，她對此舉非常感動，但同時也坦誠地說：“我可做不到每天坐下來寫封信。他若一年裏能收到一封我寫的信，就已經算是好運氣了。”
Geraci told WMUR that he started the practice in 1981. He was 19 years old, and was just starting out in his career in California when he got word that his mother had been in a horrible car accident.
格洛麗亞對WMUR電視臺說，兒子麥克的信始於1981年。當時他19歲，剛在美國加州開始了自己的事業，而突然有天他聽到了母親遇到車禍的消息。
He couldn’t be by her side, so he wrote to her every day through her recovery and rehabilitation and just never stopped.
他沒法回家陪伴在母親身邊，於是乎，在她的整個康復期間，他堅持每天一信，並從不曾停止。
Every 1,000th letter is either framed or in the form of a plaque. Geraci said he once considered writing to Britt by email, but decided to continue his daily communication the old-fashioned way.
每寫到第X千封信的時候，信封要麼被框起來，要麼被做成了匾的形狀。麥克說他曾經考慮過換成更方便的電子郵件，但思索再三，依舊決定堅持這種傳統的通信方式。
“I have no plans of stopping, ever. I’m here to stay. The letter-writing will continue on,” he said.
“我從沒有想過停止寫信。我要堅持到底，把每日一封手寫信的習慣堅持下去。”他說。
