Carol’s husband was killed in a car accident last year.

    Jim, only 52, was  21 home from work. The other driver was a teenager who had  22  a lot. Jim died at once. The teenager was in the  23  for less than three hours.

    It was Carol’s fiftieth birthday, and Jim had two plane tickets to Hawaii in his pocket. He was going to  24  her. However, he was killed by a drunken driver.

    “How have you  25  this?” I asked Carol, a year later.

     26 welled up(涌出) in her eyes. I thought I had said the  27  thing, but she said, “It’s all right. I want to 28  you. The day I married Jim, I promised I would never let him leave the house in the morning  29  telling him I loved him. He made the same  30 . It got to be a joke between us, and as we grew older it got to be a(n)  31  promise to keep.

    “I remember running down the driveway, saying ‘I love you’ just before he drove out of my  32 , or driving all the way to his office just to put a(n)  33  saying ‘I love you’ on his car. It was a funny  34 .

    “We made a lot of  35  trying to say ‘I love you’ before noon every day of our married life.

    “The morning Jim  36 , he left a birthday card in the kitchen and then left  37 . I heard the engine starting. Oh, no, I thought. I  38  out quickly and knocked on the car window  39  he rolled it down.

    “Here on my fiftieth birthday I, Carol Garret, want you, Mr James E. Garret to  40  that ‘I love you!’

    “That’s how I’ve survived, knowing that the last words I said to Jim were, ‘I love you!’”
