Reina wrote in her blog（博客）:“A few months ago I took my cat to the vet（兽医）because she was old and very sick. The vet injected her in the stomach and said she would die. She tried to stand but she couldn’t .It took at least twenty minutes for her to die. I sat in the room with her and the vet came in a couple of times and finally he said she was gone. I will never forget how she died . Was she frightened? What was wrong with the old way?”
Dear Reina,
My beloved cat Bugle was very sick with kidney（肾）failure and I took him to the vet. I stayed with him for 10 minutes, holding him in my arms and loving him as we always did , and he looked at me, as if to say, “It’s OK...I’m ready.” After that, the vet came in and injected him with the shot that would put him into a quiet sleep. All the while I held him and told him I loved him ,then the vet said his heart stopped beating. They placed him in a little box and I took him home and buried him in the yard where he always ran and played, right under his favorite bush. I still cry myself to sleep., even though I am a grown man of 65 years of age! That cat meant everything to me. I have a little stone on his grave and it says , “Bugle, my beloved cat. You were so smart, and so loving. I shall miss you every day for the rest of my life!”
I am sorry for your loss and I know how you must feel. I hope this comforts you some.
Love, COL Bright

When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 33 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times 34 his strong-minded grandfather was nearly 35 , he loaded his family into the car and 36 them to see family members in Canada with a 37 ,“there are more important thins in life than money. ”
The 38 took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a 39 house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was 40 that his children ,a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. 41 , their reaction echoed （共鸣） their great-grandfather’s. What they 42 was how warm the people were in the house and how 43 of their heart was accessible.
