完形填空
During the month of September, a dear friend of mine lost her husband suddenly in an accident．The tragedy was a 1 to everyone．When I got the news, I drove home 2 that we just don't know when a loved one is 3 going to be with us．We sometimes take our loved ones 4 , and we expect that they will be with us forever． 5 , as we all know, life does not work that 6 and sometimes we get a wake up call that shocks us and makes us 7 and realize how short life is．
In comforting her at the funeral, I tried to imagine if I was in her 8 how would I feel．
As I was leaving the 9 , I ran into a Marilyn, who has been a true friend to me over the years．When she asked me how my job was, I started 10 things through．I was having a 11 week with my job and I was telling her how I was feeling．She listened to me as I was shouting my 12 , then without saying a word, she took her hands and 13 them on my face, and said to me, “But at least you had a day．”
The 14 of her hands on my cheeks, the 15 in her voice, and the words she spoke, “BUT AT LEAST YOU HAD A DAY”, hit me like a ton of 16 ．All the frustrations, all the stress that was 17 inside me came to a complete 18 ．
Since that day, when I start feeling 19 , I remind myself of Marilyn's words－but at east I had a day! Things could be a lot 20 , but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for．
