    Inky was a gentle cat,   40     the house with five other cats.  But on a January night in 2009, Inky did 41      that would set her apart from 42     cats forever.

In doing so, he slipped and    45    his back against an old shelf.  The heavy shelf came crashing down and sent Kruger down the stairs.

    46     in a pool of blood on the basement floor, Kruger felt      47     going into shock(休克).  He shouted for help,       48       his wife, Brenda, was asleep in their bedroom at the opposite end of the house.  49       Kruger noticed Inky watching from the top of the stairs.

Kruger was rushed to the hospital. “I spent six months   54   there,” says Kruger . “Although I became lame , I was blessed.” Since the accident, Inky has   55 left Kruger’s side.

The students at Sandy’s high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had  36 himself. The suicide note read: “It’s hard to  37 when nobody cares if you die.”

Glen, a teacher, realized this was a  38 moment about the importance of making people feel

39 . He asked his class to imagine they were about to  40  and to write a note “telling someone how and why you  41 him or her.”

Sandy, who had a  42  relationship with her mother, decided to write her  43 . Her letter read: “We’ve had some  44 times and I haven’t always been a very good 45 ,but I know I’m lucky to have you in my life. You’re the  46 person I’ve ever known, And even when I disagree with you, I never  47 you love me and want what’s best for me. Thanks for not  48 up on me”.

When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy  49 but said little.

The next morning, Sandy found a  50  on her mirror: “Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is ,by far, the most important thing in my life.  51 I got your note, I thought I had lost your love and  52 . I felt like such a failure. I intended to  53 it all last night. Your note saved my  54 .”

Be careful not to underestimate the  55 of expressed appreciation. It won’t always save a life, but it will always make someone’s life better.
