For my daughter's 19th birthday, we bought her tickets to go and see Linkin Park, as they were playing in our city. We didn't really have the ____ but we knew how much this band meant to her.

The night before she was like a ____ at Christmas. Every so often she got up and came to ____ with us, because she couldn't ___. On the night of the ____ it was good to see her so ____ and excited, as she and her boyfriend set off.

Needless to say when they ____ after midnight, with T­shirts and lots of pictures of the band, ____ her telling about how fantastic they had been, we knew the money had been well ____. This will be a memory she would ____ forget, and nor would we.

____ full of excitement from the night before, the following day they ___ to go shopping on the other side of the city. My husband and I ____, loving the fact that she had not ____ that quality as she grew up.

Later that day they returned, with faces full of happiness and warmth. They presented my husband and me with a ____ each. On each present were the words “Because you are the ____ mum/dad in the world”. When we said our thank­yous and told her she didn't have to, we asked her ____ she had bought us gifts. Her ____ was simply “Just because I love you”.

This wasn't something ____ from our daughter; she had always given us a gift when she wanted to express her ____, and each gift was always a welcome surprise. It could have been anything, it wouldn't have mattered, and it was the act itself and the feelings behind it.

I firmly believe in the power of forgiveness and I have got a lot of pleasure from it.

Last year, I was at the traffic lights on my way to work when my car was hit from behind. After , a flustered (惊慌失措的) young man admitted it was his and apologized to me again and again. After that, he why he had not been “in the moment” while driving. He told me that his had just run out and promised to pay for the damage to my car later. I could his real stress, and as he gave me his details and promised to find a way to pay, I tried to him and told him not to worry too much.

When I got to work, my urged me to contact my insurance(保险) company and chase the young man for compensatory(赔款) payment immediately,as I wasn’t with him and knew nothing about his work or family. The same thing happened when I told my sister what had happened and she firmly told me not to let him get away it. She knew that I only had a small amount of money in the bank and was that I would not chase the young man for payment.

With everyone pressuring me to ask for payment, I was unsure about what to do. I finally decided to a small second-hand car. After about four months, it was coming up to Christmas and I started to think about how this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to “sting ” him, so I finally made a and sent him this note:

“ Hi Joe,

A few months ago you the back of my car. I have managed to pick another car, so I have been able to get around. I want to let you know that I am not going to _ any payment from you. If in future you could help else out, that would be great.”

After sending it, I felt that a great weight had finally been lifted from my shoulders. It wasn’t until then that I _ _the act of _ could make one feel happier.
