We had some rainstorms recently.It is a rare
1
and when it does happen,I can’t help
thinking about those who have no home and stay all night and day out.
I was out with my kids and they
2
donuts(甜甜圈) from a local shop that we
3
went to.Often times there are
4
folks outside so sometimes asking for coffee or a
5
.
On my way in I
6
4 people sitting outside who appeared to have had a
7
night.Temperatures were down and the rain was
8
and icy winds went throughout the
night.
As I walked to my car,I decided I would
9
$20 and give each person I saw
$5.When I looked into my
10
,I saw I had 3 $5 bills and 5 $1 bills.As I walked over to
the folks
11
in front of the shop,I realized a man on a bike blocked my
12
of a
lady sitting next to a man on the ground.I
13
for not seeing her and told her I hope her
boyfriend could share with her.
Everyone was so grateful for the money and had a huge smile on their faces.As I walked
into my car where my children sat
14
eating their donuts,my eldest asked me what that
was all about.I told him the whole story and he too had a huge smile.

Passage 2
My daughter has a new app on her phone that can clear up and
1
old
photographs.She used it to make copies of pictures from my old photo albums,
2
them
up,and email them back to me.There were pictures of my family and my first dog
Duke.Looking at them

so many loving,happy
4
.I even put one on my computer
as my new screen saver.

5
.I am
wearing my Snoopy sweatshirt and
6
Duke.There is a big smile on my face and a joyful
twinkle in my eyes.

too how 50 years later that boy still lives inside of me.I still love
8
chairs,warm stoves,and reading books on winter days.Yet,when I look in the mirror now all I
see is graying hair and lots of
9
.The only thing that hasn’t

in the mirror and more to
