In parenthood,we learn as much form our children as they do

In parenthood,we learn as much form our children as they do from us.They remind us of a time when we were full of ideas and hope,before we learned to doubt ourselves or see obstacles in our path.
Our daughter Susie was in the fifth grade when she faced her first lessons about life and death and compassion.Her classmate Jeff was diagnosed with leukemia.Beside missing a lot of school,Jeff grew weak and lost his hair.While some of the children reacted with rejection or ridicule,Susie chose caring,and she and Jeff became special friends.
So it was a horrible blow to our daughter when the leukemia prevailed,the sickness returned,and her best friend slipped away.That's when our remarkable daughter showed us the best of her creativity and strength—and reminded us about the power of belief.
Susie wanted to do something that would help people remember Jeff.Since in health he had enjoyed running,she decide on a Jeff Castor Memorial Run,with the proceeds going to the Leukemia Society.When he came to us with her idea,we were proud and moved,but cautious.We knew that Susie had no concept of the magnitude of such a task,nor did she have the experience and knowledge to make it happen.We certainly didn't know how to organize a fund-raising run,so we listened and let the idea drop.Little did we know that Susie would keep trying until she found someone willing to help her.
Without telling us,Susie approached her teachers.They praised her for the idea,but they,too,explained why it wouldn't work.Besides all the time and effort involved,they told her,she would need the proper contacts and a tremendous amount of sponsorship money.They suggested a small jump-a-thon instead.Susie listened,said nothing,and moved along her way.
You can imagine our bewilderment when,a couple of weeks later,we started getting phone calls at home from Pepsi-Cola,Coors and other companies asking for Susie.They'd been contacted about sponsoring a run and needed more details.At this point,we knew our daughter had taken charge of her dream and we certainly weren't going to stand in the way.There was going to be a run—and we were going to take an active role in helping.
After months of planning,coordination and fund-raising,the Jeff Castro Run for Leukemia took place.And was it a success?You bet!Over $20000 was raised,with half covering the expenses and a check of $10000 proudly handed over to the Leukemia Society.All because a little girl who loved a little boy had a vision that no one could change.怎么翻译这篇文章呢?

译文：当我们做父母的时候,会像孩子学习我们一样去向他们学习,在我们人生道路上开始知道怀疑和预见困难之前,他们使我们回想起我们心怀理想和梦想的时光.
我们的女儿Susie读5年级的时候,经历了一堂她人生第一次关于生命、死亡和同情的课,她的同学Jeff被诊断出得了白血病.除了十分想念学校之外,jeff的身体变得虚弱,头发掉光了.当其的一些孩子表现出排斥和奚落的时候,susie表现出的是关怀,她还和jeff成为了好朋友.
那孩子的白血病恶化,对我们女儿是个大的打击,病魔肆虐,带走了她最好的朋友.这时我们非凡的女儿展示出她的创造力和坚韧------并且唤起了我们对于力量和信念的思考.
susie想要做些事使人们能够记住jeff.
因为jeff还是健康的时候,喜欢跑步,她决定发起一项名为“纪念jeff赛跑大赛”并且想在白血病患者中开展起来.当她向我们说出她的创想时,我们十分骄傲和感动,但也谨慎.我知道susie对这件事分量的大小没什么概念,也没有经验和相关知识去实现这个计划.当然我们也不知道怎样去组织一个筹集善款的赛跑.因此,我们只是听听而已,等着她自己放弃这个想法.然而我们不知道是她却一直在努力并一直找到了乐意帮助她的人.
susie瞒着我们,向她的老师们求助,他们赞扬了她的举措,但是也和我们一样只是听听而已.并且解释了为什么她的主意不成.除了要投入大量的时间和努力,老师们还告诉他,还要联系正确的人和大量的赞助费.他们劝susie还是举办一个跳绳马拉松算了.susie只是听着,一句话也不说,之后便走了.
当我们夫妻两几个星期后再加给百事可乐等公司打电话帮助女儿的时候,你们可以想象的到我们的困惑.我们联系到了这些公司关于赞助的事情,他们要我们提供具体细节.在这件事上,我们知道我们的女儿正在实现她的梦想,显然我们也不会袖手旁观.赛跑马上就要举办,我们夫妻也会在中积极帮助.
在几个月的计划、协调和筹备资金之后,为白血病或者发起的纪念jeff赛跑大赛终于举办了.那么,它是成功的吗?你猜对了.我们筹集了超过2万美元.举办的费用花了1万美元,剩下的一万美元支票交给了白血病社团.所以的这一切仅仅是因为一位关爱一个小男孩的小女孩的那坚定不移的信念.
