对于哈利波特小说的作者J.K.Rowling来说过去的日子可能已经很遥远,但过去的Rowling可是尝尽了生活的辛酸。在2013年Daily Mail的一次采访中Rowling讲述了她曾经生活得多么贫穷,“我是一个单亲妈妈”。所以我们也不感到惊奇,Rowling在推特上回复了一位单亲爸爸,来自佛罗里达Tallahassee的Matt Burke。Burke在一条推特中@了Rowling,他说“我是一个单亲爸爸,和我的孩子一起读Harry Potter成了我们之间最强的纽带之一。你可能不会看到这条推特,但我只是想说谢谢你!”
@jk_rowling I’m a single parent, broke as can be, and reading the Harry Potter series together has become one of the biggest sources of bonding for us.

Doubt you’ll come across this or read this piece, but I just wanted to say thanks for the assist. 🙏🏻https://t.co/hkX0q5HSCX
推文中还有一个链接,是一篇Burke写的关于他如何保持和女儿之间的开心快乐。在被@的几小时后Rowling回复了一条推特,称她很荣幸Burke和女儿能这么喜欢Harry Potter,还说让Burke给她地址,她要给这对父女寄一套亲笔签名的Harry Potter:
.@mattburkephoto The gifts you’re giving your daughter are priceless and I’m truly honoured that Harry & co are playing a part. DM me your address for a set of signed Potters x https://t.co/EAcIKvwJwb

Burke当然是非常感激,立马给Rowling发了地址:
Oh my, my head is about to explode. 😭
— Matt Burke (@mattburkephoto) June 7, 2018
You are too kind, thank you so much. I’ll DM you my address ASAP.
Rowling和单亲爸爸之间的交互感动了很多人,其中一条热评说“好事时有发生”。
Good things happen sometimes 😍

是呀,尽管生活有很多不如意,但那些意料之中和之外温暖让我们想要牢牢地抓住、大胆地生活。
