It was as if a darkened sky was   17      lit with the golden rays of the sun: it was as if in that small act, her day was     18  .

I got back into the car and for some     19    reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the    20     that James Barrie attempted to describe, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”
