When I was in the 8th grade in Ohio, a girl named Helen in my class had a terrible accident. As she was   31  to the bus in order not to miss it, she slipped on the ice and fell under the back wheels of the bus. She   32  the accident but was paralyzed from the waist down. I went to see her, in my 13-year-old   33  thinking that she wouldn’t live   34  from then on.

Over the years, I   35  and didn’t think much about Helen after that. Three years ago, in Florida, my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike,   36  a terrible brain injury. While I was looking after my son, a lady who said she was the hospital’s social worker called. It was a (an)   37  trying (难受的) day. I burst into tears for no reason and rang   38 .

A short time 1ater, a beautiful woman, in a wheelchair,   39  into my son’s room with a box of   40 . After 16 years, I still   41  Helen. She smiled, handed me the tissues and hugged me. I told her who I was, and after we both went through the shock of that, she began to tell me about   42  since we last saw each other. She married, had children and got her degree so that she   43  the path for those people who were less   44  than her. She told me that if there was anything she could give me, it would be   45 .

Looking at this wonderful, giving person, I felt   46 . But I also felt the first hope I had since learning that my son was   47 . From this person that I thought would have no   48  of life, I learned that where there is life, there is hope. My son miraculously (神奇的)   49  and we moved north, but I owe Helen   50  that I can never repay.

I was driving home one evening about 5, stuck in traffic, and the car started to die— I hardly managed to get into a gas station, glad only that I would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck(拖车). Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the “ Quickie Mart” building, then suddenly she slipped(滑倒) on some ice and fell down, so I got out to see if she was okay.

When I got there, it looked like she had been overcome by weep than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked exhausted with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up and gave it to her. It was a coin.

At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban packed full of stuff and three kids in the back, and the gas pump(汽油泵) reading $4.95.

I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying “I don’t want my kids to see me crying,” so we stood at the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California for Christmas and that things were very hard for her right now.

I took out my credit card and swiped(刷磁卡) it through the card reader on the pump so that she could fill up her car completely, and I bought 2 big bags of food for her kids in the car who attacked it like wolves. While it was fueling, she asked, “So, are you an angel or something?” I said, “At this time of year, angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses common people.”

It was unbelievable to be part of someone else’s miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. Sometimes, angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter(摆动) of their wings.
