Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.I met 2l people.But none
touched me 22 than a woman I picked up late one night.
I received a call from
23 in a quiet part of town.When I arrived at 2:30 a.m.,the building was 24 except
for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked
to the door and 25 .“Just a minute,”answered a 26 ,elderly
voice.After a long pause,the door
opened.A small woman 27 her 80s stood
before me.Beside her was a small suitcase.I took it to the taxi.and then returned to
28 the woman.She took my arm and we walked
29 toward the roadside.
Seated,she gave me
30 .“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I'm in no hurry.Can
you drive through downtown?” I saw her eyes shining with 31 in
the rearview mirror.“I don’t have any 32 left.”she continued.“The doctor says I don’t have
very long.”
During the next two
hours’ 33 , sometimes she asked me to 34 in
front of a particular building or corner and she 35 stare
into the darkness.When we got to the destination,she asked,“How much do I 36 you?” “Nothing,”I said.“You
37 make a living.”she answered.“I have 38 passengers,”I
replied,and gave her a hug. She
held onto me 39 .“You gave an old
woman a little moment of joy,” she said.“Thank you.”
After that,I drove aimlessly,lost in thought.People usually believe that
our lives center upon great moments. 40 great moments often catch us unaware,beautifully
wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
