I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old.My mother told us that we would not be 26 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money.I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd 27 ?" Just when I started to 28 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 29 at our house with gifts for all of us.For me they brought a doll.I felt such a sense of 30 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school.I wasn't 31 .Somebody had thought 32 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 33 Christmas there special and memorable, I 34 remembered the women's visit.I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 35 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 36 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help.We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party.For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 37 with a child's name.We wanted all of them to know they were 38 .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 39 them that they couldn't open their presents 40 every child had come forward.Finally the 41 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three.Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 42 up the room.The 43 in the room was obvious, and 44 wasn't just about toys.It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 45 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit.I wasn't forgotten.Somebody thought of me.I matter.

It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.
I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents’ room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could have happened?
"Max, I’m so sorry," I heard him say. That’s when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died. Max has been my dad’s best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life ,she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live in a hospital in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. She wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate. In a way, she lived through me.
After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).
Her funeral was very different from any funeral I’d ever been to. After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. I remember crying so hard, I felt weak. My cheeks burned from the tears. My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but I’m glad I did it.
When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life.
