My best friend is Cocoa, and I live in a senior-citizen apartment. Cocoa is a ten-year-old dog and I am a sixty-nine-year-old lady, so you can see we both qualify as   1  citizens.
He is a   2  companion. He does many amusing things that make me   3 , and when that happens, he is so delighted   4  he just keeps it up.
But one afternoon, Cocoa started acting strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him,   5  he started pawing and smelling at the right side of my   6 . He had never done anything like this ever before, and I told him, “No.” To Cocoa, one “no” is usually   7 , but not that day. He stopped briefly, and then   8  ran toward me, throwing his entire weight at the right side of my chest. He crashed into me and I cried in   9 , falling down to the floor. Soon after this, I felt a lump (肿块). I went to my doctors, and after X-rays  10  and lab work were done, they told me I had cancer.
When cancer starts, a  11  of calcium (钙) builds. Then the lump or cancer attaches itself to this wall. When Cocoa jumped on me, the force of the impact broke the lump away from the wall. This made it possible for me to  12  the lump.
I had a complete mastectomy (乳房切除术) and the cancer has not   13  to any other part of my body. The doctors told me if the cancer had gone undetected even six more months, it would have been too   14 .
Was Cocoa  15  of just what he was doing? I’ll never really know. What I do know is that Cocoa not only shares his life with me, he has also made sure that I will be around to share my life with him!

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!

Lydia M. Child

When I was a little girl, my father had a time-honored tradition. Following my bedtime story, he would give me a nose  36  , and whisper the most wonderful words into my ear. “Michelle, of all the little girls in the whole wide world . . .” he would pause.

“ Yes, Daddy?”

“ How did your mommy and I get so  37  to get the best one?”

 38  he had time to finish, I would say, “You got me!” And then he would continue , “The best little girl in the whole wide world, and we got you.” He would end with a bear hug and  39  kiss to my forehead.

Years passed and my father never missed a night, even when I thought he should have. After my basketball team was  40  , he came into my room.

“ Michelle, of all the basketball players in the whole wide world,” he paused.

“ Yes, Daddy?” I stared at the floor.

“ How did your mom and I get so lucky to get the best one?”

“ You didn’t.”

“ Of course we did, Michelle. We have you.”

After I  41  from college, I became engaged. My father never missed a night to call or leave a message  42  me how special I was to him. I even wondered if he would continue calling after I got  43  , but he didn’t. The daily calls I had taken for granted all my life ended the day he died from cancer, only weeks before my wedding. I deeply missed  44  the days with my father.

Standing behind the white church doors, I waited for the wedding march to begin. Before we walking down the aisle, my brother  45  inside his pocket and handed me an ivory napkin. Inscribed (题写) were the words:

Of all the precious  46  in the whole wide world, how did Mark get so lucky to marry the best one? He married you, Michelle, and he is so lucky! I am so proud of you, my little girl.

Love,

Dad

Without doubt , it was the best wedding gift I  47 , One I would never forget. My father showered me with his gifts every day of his life. How did I get so lucky?
