　　My brother-in-law lifted out a package in which was delicate lingerie(女式内衣)．“Jan bought it 8 years ago 　　1　　 she never wore it．She was 　　2　　 it for a special occasion．”He put it with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician(殡仪馆)．“Don't save anything for a special occasion．Every day when you're 　　3　　 is a special gift．” he said．

　　I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helped with all the chores(琐事)after Jan's sudden 　　4　　．I thought about them on the plane returning to California．I'm 　　5　　 thinking about his words, and they've 　　6　　 my attitude towards life．I'm admiring the view 　　7　　 worrying about the weeds in the garden．I'm spending more time with my family and friends and 　　8　　 time in committee meetings．

　　Whenever possible, life should be an experience to 　　9　　, not　tolerate．I'm trying to recognize these moments and 　　10　　 them．“Someday” and “one of these days” are 　　11　　 from my vocabulary．If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now．I'm not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all 　　12　　 for granted．I think she would have gone out for her favorite Chinese food．She might have called a few former friends to apologize for past 　　13　　．I'm guessing－I'll 　　14　　 know．

　　It was Friday－the most tiring day of a teacher's week．As I was going to dismiss the class, Jan, who sat behind Bill suddenly shouted,“Teacher, Bill took my dime(=10 cents)．It was 　　1　　 here by my ink bottle when I went to sharpen my pencil and now it is 　　2　　”

　　Bill only dropped his head 　　3　　．

　　The dime had 　　4　　 been there．I had seen it．And Bill was the only one who had been 　　5　　 Jan's desk．

　　By now the children were quiet, obviously waiting for me to 　　6　　 action．Perhaps I hadn't slept well the night before; or perhaps it was the expectation in the children's eye．　　7　　, I lost my control．I scolded Bill for being 　　8　　．

　　“Give Jan her dime,”I ordered．Bill didn't say a word in 　　9　　．

　　“Stand up!”he stood beside his seat．

　　“Now turn all your 　　10　　 inside out and take off your shoes!”He did so, 　　11　　 to cover one foot with the other to 　　12　　 the holes in his socks．But there was no dime．

　　“　　13　　 your desk!”I ordered．Patiently he did so．The dime wasn't there either．He returned the books and papers to his desk without a word．Then he 　　14　　 his face in his arms．Immediately I 　　15　　 my mistakes．I, the person who could defend him, had failed him．

　　It was very late that afternoon 　　16　　 one of the boys went to the front of the room to sharpen his pencil．“Hey!”he cried,“Here's Jan's dime on the board ledge．She must have put it here when she sharpened her pencil．”

　　I felt heartsick．I went to Bill, and 　　17　　 him into my arms．“I'm so sorry, Bill．I had no 　　18　　 to scold you．Will you pardon me?”

　　Slowly he raised his eyes to 　　19　　．There were no tears but the 　　20　　 in his eyes branded(印在)my heart forever．
