I’d been proud that I’d never lost my cellphone until my husband Jack got a call one evening.
We went to visit a friend in hospital last year. When Jack’s  36  rang, it was my mother calling from my  37 . She asked if I had  38  my mobile. I checked my purse. It was  39 !
I used Jack’s phone to call my number. Then a boy, whom I’ll call Rhys,  40  it. “I found your phone!” he said, excitedly. “I have been trying to find you, but  41  it was getting late, I decided to leave.” He gave me the address of a  42  near his home.
Later that evening, I went to  43  him there. I didn’t dare to go  44 , worrying this was some cheater. So Jack came along. After  45  10km, we got to the coffee shop which Rhys  46 .
My  47  were gone. Rhys was just a young boy. “How did you  48  my mum?” I asked. He  49  that when he found my mobile by the roadside, he started calling people in my list of contacts. But all they  50  was my mobile phone number—which didn’t    51 . He’d called many names, starting with the letter A. Finally he got Adam, one of my friends, who  52 my house.
I was  53  to get my phone back with all the contacts, messages and photos I could have lost for ever. I was so  54  to Rhys and offered him some money, but he  55 .
As we drove back, we praised Rhys for his honesty.

I have a strong faith that families are not only relatives，but sometimes people who turn up and love you when no one else will.

  In May l987, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate l0 in Houston. My dad and I 31 a room with two double beds and a bathroom. It was too 32 for a 15-year-old girl and her father．Dad’s second marriage was 33 and my stepmother had 34 us both out of the house．Dad had no 35 what to do with me．And that was when my other family 36 .

Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home37 their only daughter, Su，my best friend，asked them to. I 38 with them for the next seven years．

   Barbara washed my skirts just as she did Su’s. She 39 I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments，help with homework and nightly hugs．Barbara and Roland Beach attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders．40 I could tell，for the Beaches there was no 41 between Su and me；I was their daughter, too.

  When Su and I 42 college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barbara presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay for 23 years．

   The Beaches knew 43 about me when they took me in：They had heard the whole story from Su．When I was seven，my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to 44 his kids. Before the time I went to live with the Beaches I believed that life was entirely 45 and that love was shaky and untrustworthy，I believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

   46 the Beaches，I would have become a bitter, cynical(愤世嫉俗的)woman．They gave me a(n) 47 that allowed me to grow and change．They kept me from being paralyzed by my 48 and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

  I 49 the family．For me，it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was 50 ，but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10.
