If only I had known that was the last chance I could talk to her．If so, I would have said to her,“Hi, my dearest sister!Do you know how much I love you and how much I feel proud of you?”
Every time when alone, I am always thinking how much happiness she once brought to the people who loved her．I can still remember her smile which was so bright and so beautiful, her voice which was so pleasing to the ear and her love so deep for people!
She was pretty, nice, pure, lively and…Oh, she had many merits(优点),which always made many other girls envy her．She had also some bad habits．She liked to turn up her radio so loudly that people often felt a bit unbearable about the noise．She carelessly threw her dirty stocking about, which used to make her parents angry．She sometimes let out strange laughter without any reason that often made people frightened．However, if you put her beautiful character on one side of a balance and her bad habits on the other, you would find the bad habits which you think unbearable are so unimportant．
I have no more chance to tell her what I’m thinking about her now, though I wish she would know it in heaven．That day she phoned me,“Hi, sister!I rang you just because I wanted to tel you that I love you…and．nothing more．Now I have something else to do．Bye!”And the next day came the news about her death．She left me the thing which I would cherish(珍爱)in my mind for ever．
I know that I willl never have any chance to tell my sister that I love her very much．But I think I still have many chances to tell other people that I love them．And I think people may have many chances to tell the same thing to the people they love．Maybe you will have to leave them or maybe they will leave you for place far away that you will no longer see them again．Why not at this right moment tell them that you love them?Why do they always hesitate to do that?Do it right now, or you will never have the chances!

Reading the following accounts．A father sat at his 1 watching his monthly bills when his young son rushed into the room and 2 , “ Dad, because this is your birthday and you’re 55 years old, I’m going to give you 55 3 , one for each year!” When the boy started 4 good on his word, the father said, “ Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now; I’m too 5 ! ”
The youngster immediately fell silent as tears 6 in his big blue eyes．Apologetically the father said, “You can finish later．” The boy said nothing but 7 walked away from his father, with 8 written over his face．That evening the father said, “Come and 9 the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t respond．
10 , a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was 11 ．His heartbroken father wrote：
“If only I could tell him how much I 12 my thoughtless words, and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is 13 ．”
Love is a two-way street．Any loving 14 must be warmly accepted or it will be 15 as rejection and can leave a 16 ．If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more 17 than responding with love to the cry for 18 from those who are near and 19 to us, because there may be no 20 at all as in the case of the little boy．
