在你生命里，我是第一个爱你的男人

天下的父母在子女成人结婚这一刻都是一样的感动和兴奋，也都是一样的爱着自己的孩子。转摘自美国前总统小布什的弟弟尼尔·布什写给女儿婚前的一封信。

Lauren,

劳伦，

As the big weekend approaches I am more and more worried that I might break up during my toast so as a pre-emptive strike please accept this letter and gifts. My feelings about you and your marriage are personal and while I hope to share the sentiments with those at the dinner, it's more important to me that you realize how much I love you and how proud I am of the amazing woman you have become.

随着这个重要周末的临近，我越来越担心自己可能在祝酒时失控，为了先发制人，请你提前接受这封信和这些礼物。对于你的婚姻，我觉得是很私人的事情，但我希望可以在晚宴上与大家分享我的感受。对我来说更重要的是，你能够意识到我是多么爱你，并为你成为一个这样了不起的女人而感到多么自豪。

My memory for specifics is terrible but my memory for how precious you were as a child is vivid. I loved cradling you in my arms in the wee hours of the morning when you awoke for a bottle, draping your sleepy body over my shoulder when you were too pooped to walk, giving you under doggies in the park, tossing you high in the air in the pool in Marine, and reading kids books on the floor of the Denver book store with you on my lap. From your first days you have had a quiet, beautiful, and kind demeanor. You are thoughtful, sensitive, caring and loving. You were, and still are, an angel.
