我的脖子上带着我几个孩子的生辰石。
I have always worn my children’s birthstones around my neck.
一天早晨，我上班迟到了，脖子上带着一块托帕石从我的项链上掉了下来，那是我儿子拉里的生辰石，他还是个婴儿。
One morning, when I was late for work, my infant son Larry’s topaz birthstone fell from my gold chain.
我焦急的寻找着，还喃喃自语道：我把拉里丢了，但是我会找回他的。
I frantically searched for it, whispering to myself, I lost my Larry, but I will get him back.
就在那天，拉里的心血管医生打电话给我，内容是关于他的检查报告。
That day, Larry’s cardiologist called with test results from one of his first checkups.
他需要紧急的心脏手术。
He would need emergency heart surgery.
欣慰的是，手术非常成功，我对拉里耳语道，我想我把你弄丢了，但是我知道你肯定会回到妈妈身边的。
Happily, the operation was a success, and I whispered in Larry’s ear, I thought I lost you, but I knew I’d get you back.
