The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to 36 the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was 37 . Then she settled in, 38 her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg.

　　 It had been a year since Susan, 34, became 　39 . Due to a medical misdiagnosis, she was suddenly 　40 into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Mark, her husband , 　41 her to work each day, even though they worked at　 42 ends of the city. Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn't 　43 .Susan had to start taking the bus again. Just as he predicted, Susan was 44 at the idea of taking the bus again. "How am I 45 　to know where I am going? I feel like you're abandoning me. "she responded bitterly. Mark taught her how to rely on her other 　46 , specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to 47 　to her new environment. Monday morning arrived, they went their 48 ways for the first time.

　　 On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying, the driver said, "I sure do 　49 you." Curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me?"

　　 The driver responded, "It must feel 　50 to be taken care of and protected like you are." "What do you mean?" she asked.

　　 The driver answered, "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine- looking gentleman in a military uniform has been 　51 across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street 52 and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away." Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. For 53 she couldn't physically see him, she had always felt Mark's presence. He had given her a gift more powerful than 　54 , a gift she didn't need to see to 55 --the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.
