I was going to see my grandma Ruthy.
Approaching her apartment, I was suddenly seized with the1 that I was going to die one day. I walked in to see my grandmother sitting on the sofa, 2 and pale. Once she would have 3 me in her huge bear hug, but now it seemed like the sofa was going to have her4 alive.
I knew I was supposed to hug her but I wanted to 5. I didn't want to even make eye contact with this woman that I had loved so 6, because if I did, maybe death would 7 from over her shoulder and touch me too.
My grandmother, dying of cancer, 8 pulled herself to the edge of the sofa and 9 herself up and said, "So where are we going for dinner?" I turned to my mom 10 I didn't know what food went with dying.
The next minute, we ended up 11 her off the sofa, down the steps, into the car, and driving to the closest 12. She hadn't managed solid food in weeks, and could 13 do a sip of water due to the pain. But she ordered a large cup of beer. We ate and she drank.14, there was no death. There was no cancer. There was a moment like that in every 15.
Then we said 16. I was waiting for the icy cold hand of 17 on my heart. But I didn't feel it, because she had 18 a shield (防护物) around me — the meal.
The last 19 my grandma Ruthy taught me is that one day, I'm supposed to look over my shoulder and say, "Hello, Death. Before we go, I'm going to have one more 20."
