During the month of September, a dear friend of mine lost her husband suddenly in an accident.The tragedy was a  36  to everyone. When I got the news,I drove home  37  that we just don’t know when a loved one is   38  going to be with us. We sometimes take our loved ones  39 ,and we expect that they will be with us forever. __40 , as we all know, life does not work that  41  and sometimes we get a wake-up call that shocks us and makes us realize how  42  life is.

    In comforting her at the funeral, I tried to imagine if I were in her  43    ,how I would feel.

    As I was leaving the  44 , I ran into Marilyn, who has been a true friend to me over the years. When she asked me how my job was, I started  45   things through. I was having a  46  week with my job and I was telling her how I was feeling. She listened to me as I was shouting my  47 , then without saying a word, she took her hands and  48  them on my face, and said to me, “But at least you had a day.”

    The  49  of her hands on my cheeks, the  50   in her voice, and the words she spoke, “BUT AT LEAST YOU HAD A DAY”, hit me like a ton of  51  . All the frustrations, all the stress that was _52  inside me came to a complete  53 .

    Since that day,when I start feeling  54 . I remind myself of Marilyn's words--but at least I had a day! Things could be a lot  55  sometimes, but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for.
