When I was raising my 14-year-old son as a single mother in Toronto, he helped me publish a magazine.

当时我是一个抚养14岁男孩的单亲妈妈，住在多伦多，他帮我出版了一本杂志。

One day, an incredibly handsome, soft-spoken, well-mannered visitor from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, visited my office. We shared our experiences as volunteer editors.

那天一名来自坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆的客人造访了我的办公室，他生得英俊，声线柔和，举止得当，我们在一起分享了志愿编辑的一些心得。

When he left, my son whispered, “Mom! Now, that’s the kind of man you should marry!” I blushed and laughed it off and didn’t think about it again.

他离开后，儿子小声和我耳语道：“妈妈，你就应该和那样的男人结婚！”我听完就脸红了，并一笑置之，在也没有想起这茬。

Eight years later, I met the same man again. He was now a widower. We married and are still together nine years later, coediting an international magazine.

八年后，我又见到了他。当时他是一个鳏夫（丧妻的男子）。我们结婚了，到现在为止我们一共生活了9年，共同编辑一本国际性杂志。
