Celebrate the Good Days

    It was in April of what seemed to be a great year. I was in fourth grade with the greatest teacher, Miss De Rosear -- the coolest teacher. I had just come home from school to find Mum at home. That was1because she never arrived home before me. Mum was sitting on the sofa with Dad. A thousand terrible things started flashing through my mind. What if Grandma had passed away? I did not have the 2to say goodbye. What if my brother was hurt? As I crawled(爬) up on the sofa next to Mum, she gave me a kiss and a huge smile, so I3and went on with my normal after-school activities. During the TV show that I always watched after school, Mum started getting phone calls. The calls continued for the rest of the night. Each time the4 rang, Mum rushed to her room.  I then knew that something bad had happened.

    When Mum came back, I asked, "Mum, why do you keep on5the room every time you get a phone call?

    She turned to my sister and me and said, "Girls, I have something to tell you. I have cancer(癌症). "

    As she said that I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I was thinking, "Why is God taking my mum from me so soon? What have I done?" I didn't know that we were just beginning a very long, 6 journey.

    The next day on the bus I turned to my friend, Kate. "My mum... "That was all I could say before I started crying. Kate gave me a big hug and said 7, "I know, and I'm here for you." I knew that Kate would support me.

    During the summer, Mum stayed home. On the good days, sister and I talked about what we were going to do next day, week, month, or year with 8. We never talked about losing her.

    We got9from many different people. When school started again, Mum had to have surgery(手术). I stayed with one of my teachers, Mrs. Stephens. Mrs Stephens made me rainbow French toast. She was always there for me with a smile, a hug, or --it will be okay advice.

    On April 5, my morn became a five-year survivor (幸存者). When that day came, we had a big party. Friends came from far and wide to celebrate how10Mum is and her success against cancer!

    There will be good days and bad days--some more bad than good. But as I have learned from my mother, celebrate the good days!

    Before Father's Day, I found my father was unhappy because he was out of work. I decided to cheer him up by buying him a special Father's Day gift.

    One day after school I1to the Agins which was known for fashions and styles. I told the Agins salesperson that I was looking for a Father's Day present.

    "Do you think he'd like a2?" she asked. "Yes, I think he might, "I told her.

    She 3 a Swiss watch and I told her that he would like it.

    "How much money do you have?" she asked.

    "4dollars, "I replied.

    "You're so lucky!" she told me." It's only $11.You still have $l for the 5." She packed the watch and I thanked for my business, and I rode off home with the gift under my arm.

    When my father opened the gift, he asked 6, "Where did you get it?"

    "I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11, "I said. My father was shocked into silence.

    Many years later, I did learn that the watch was worth several hundred dollars, 7I appreciated(感激)how wonderful the Agins sales-person had been to me. I always felt8that I never had a chance to thank her.

    "What really amazes me to this day...…my daughter, "my father said." Letting you have the watch for 11 dollars was 9 enough. But the fact that she let you leave the shop with a dollar for the card was a touch (触动)of 10.I'll never forget it."
