A neighbor of mine, while visiting his mother in Boston, took her to a shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes. While she was trying on different styles, my neighbor took the manager aside. “When she picks out a pair that she likes,” he said, “Just tell her that the price is 12 dollars. I’ll pay the regular(正常的)price. I don’t care how much it is.”

The following week, my neighbor was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized him and called him in.

“What’s the problem?” asked my neighbor as he entered the store.

“Wasn’t my check any good?”

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of   1  my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet  2 . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd  3  to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway   4  the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart   5  with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the  6  small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   7  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   8  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   9 , at these prices, I don't know."

"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   10  you have together."

She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   11  as she placed the package in her basket and   12  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then  13  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   14  smile I had ever seen.

As she came closer, I saw what she held and   15  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   16 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   17 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost  18 . How did she know?

Suddenly the   19  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   20  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.
