I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier(收银员) 1 her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her hand, and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my 2 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don't know how I'm going to 3 the holidays. ”Then she gave the cashier food stamps.
My heart 4. I wanted to help but didn't know how. Should I offer to 5 her groceries or ask for her husband's situation?
6 I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought might help her. It wasn't a handful of cash or an 7 of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life 8.
My heart beat faster as I 9 the woman. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn't help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you're going through a really 10 time right now. I'm so sorry, but I'd like to give you something.”
I took a small card out of my purse and 11 it to her.
When the woman read the only two words on the card, she began to cry. And through her 12, she said, “You have no idea how much this 13 to me.”
I was a little 14 by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn't know what kind of 15 I might receive. All I could think to respond was, “Oh! Would it be OK to give you a 16?
After we hugged 17, I walked back to my car and began to cry, too.
The words on the card?
“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave a similar card as 18 for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a 19 glow(光辉,喜悦)spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started 20 them.
