A month later, Susan was at a hospital about two hours away from where we lived. I asked my dad to take me to see her. I wanted to give my best friend a   36 . So I took out the ribbon and cut it into two pieces with scissors(剪刀). I put one in my pocket and the other in an envelope(信封), along with a letter explaining it to her. I told her to keep her   37  beside her bed, and I would keep mine near me, too. Then I went to the hospital one Friday afternoon, wondering (想知道) if the ribbon would   38  anything to her.

We talked for a while and then she started looking   39 , so I asked her to get some rest and left the hospital. All the way home I   40 the ribbon close to me.
For the next four months, the ribbon was with me  41 I went: school, home, shopping, and at friends’ houses. Where I went, it went. It was something to remind(提醒)me that I had a friend who would   42  home very soon. Susan said that she wore her ribbon   43  her arm all the time and she always had it close to her when she was being tested and treated.

The marathon(马拉松) in my town usually takes place in hot weather. My job was to follow the runners to help those who needed medical help. “We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug.
As it began, the front runners started to disappear(消失). Then I noticed a woman in blue running shorts and a white T-shirt. “ Doug, look!” We knew we were watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in , yet her left knee turned out. Her legs were so crippled(畸形的) that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk. How could she run a marathon？
We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her. Then we would slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. When the finishing line came into sight, we found the cheering people had all gone home. She slowly crossed through the line and lifted her hands, full of happiness.
I do not know the woman’s name, but since that day she has become a part of my life. For her, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult and want to say “I just can’t do it”, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.
