One day, a poor boy was trying to sell things from door to door to pay for school. He was hungry. Then he decided to ask for a meal at the next house. However, when a nice young woman opened the door, he changed to ask for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry and brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked, "How much do I pay?" "You needn't do that," she said. "Mother has taught me to be kind."

Years later, the young woman became seriously ill. She was sent to a big city. When Dr.Howard Kelly, a very famous doctor now, heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. At once, he got up and went down through the hospital hall into her room. He recognized her at once and decided to do his best to save her life. He did it and they won at last!

Before she left, the bill (账单) was sent to her. She was quite afraid to open it. Finally, she looked, and to her surprise, she found these words on the bill: "Paid with a glass of milk.Dr. Howard Kelly.”

Tears of joy came down from her eyes as she said silently, "Thank you, God. Your love has passed through hearts and hands."

In the days following the first anniversary(周年纪念) of my dad ’s death, I felt sad. I still missed him so much. I would walk over to his old house where my daughter now live and still expect to see him sitting out on his front porch(走廊). I would see him in my dreams, looking young and strong again.

I felt bad too because I regretted not spending more time with him while he was here. I wished I had visited him more, talked with him more, and listened to him more. I wished I had asked the questions that I never did. I wished I had given him more hugs and told him I loved him more often. I wished I had cherished the time I had with him here. I was angry at the destiny(命运) because Dad and Mum had both passed away before I was 50, and I was angry with myself because I hadn’t made the most of time I had with them.

Today, I found myself walking under a cloudy sky, staring at the leafless trees. As I walked along, one of the last golden maple leaves fell from its tree and sailed in the wind until it landed in front of me. I picked it up and smiled. At the moment of peace I felt a sound in my heart and mind: “death is momentary(瞬间的), but love is eternal(永久的).” I knew at that moment that my relationships with Mum and Dad were not over. We would see each other again in a place of love, joy and light. We would spend our days in learning, laughter and love.
