My husband, Bob, died in January 2010. His death was unexpected as well. I __1__ condolences(哀悼) from people I hadn't heard from in years: letters, cards, flowers, calls, and visits. I took a bad knock with __2__. I was so struggling to __3__ the whys and hows of this terrible thing that had happened to my family, knowing in my heart that there really were no __4__. It's just all so sad.

One message __5__ me deeply. I received a letter from my best friend from sixth __6__ through high school. We had drifted somewhat since __7__ in 1959, as she stayed in our home town and I did not. __8__ it was the kind of friendship that could quickly resume even if we __9__ touch for five or ten years.

Her husband, Pete, had died perhaps 20 years ago at a young age, __10__ her with deep sorrow and heavy __11__: finding a job and raising three young children.She and Pete, __12__ Bob and I, had shared one of those rare, close,“love?of?your?life?you?can?never?forget”__13__.

In her letter she __14__ an anecdote about my mother who had passed away years ago. She wrote, “When Pete died, your dear mother __15__ me and said,‘Trudy, I don't know what to say...so I'll just say I love you.’”

She closed her letter to me repeating my mother's words of so long __16__, “Bonnie, I don't know what to say...so I'll just say I love you.”

I felt I __17__ almost hear my mother speaking to me now. What a __18__ message of sympathy! How dear of my friend to cherish it all those years and then __19__ it on to me. I love you. __20__ words. A gift. A legacy (遗赠物).
