I was s______ when I heard about your accident.

I was sleeping for over a week after a traffic accident. The only sounds that could be heard were coming from the machines that were  36   me alive.
All my family members were   37   ways to wake me up from my silence.
Greg, my brother – in – law,  38   to take some of my songs I had recently recorded to a local radio station,   39   he explained about my illness. He told them he was  40 I could hear what was going on around me and that he knew having my own songs   41   on the radio had been a huge dream of mine. This would definitely  42   me and do more than any medicine or machine could.
The radio station agreed to help and gave him a specific date and time   43  he could have a radio “  44  ” at my hospital bed. Greg’s decision had filled everyone with 45   and now the moment arrived. Nervous from expectation, all my family members  46   hands and watched over me hoping for a   47  .
The DJ made a pre – song announcement about my   48   to the general audience, and then spoke directly to me.
“Shelly, this is for you. I want you to really listen now. This is not just   49   song we’re playing, but your family’s song of hope. All of us at KKDJ wish you a speedy   50  .”

Everyone in the room held their breath and watched  51   as the music began. Later they all witnessed the tears  52   down my pale cheeks. Though still not awake, it was obvious I heard my song.

Just a few days later, hope turned into   53  . I did in fact awake. Though not   54   unscathed (未受伤的), I did not suffer from the disabilities that had been predicted.

Hope is the part of us that makes us pick up the pieces and try again.   55   hope where would we be?

I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang.  26  voice on the other end spoke to me, “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” I judged that it was a wrong  number. A little while later, the call came once again, so I rudely  27 , “You’ve dialed the wrong number!” and then hung up.

During the following days, I got the same call  28 . But I didn’t care much about it.

    Then one day she constantly called me, though I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m  29  so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take  30  of me. But, dad, please  31  me again, OK?” The innocent (天真的, 无邪的)  32  was difficult to reject（拒绝）. I made a  33  kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you…Dad, I am so…happy, so…happy…”

    Shortly after this, I became  34  about who had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have  35  you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer  36  she was born. And her father…died in an  37  a short while ago. I dare not tell her this  38 . Poor baby. When she couldn’t stand the painful chemotherapy (化疗), she would cry for her dad, who had always  39  her. I really couldn’t bear it, so I gave her a random (随意的) phone number…”

    “How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to  40 .

    “She has passed away. You must have kissed her on the phone, because she went with a smile, tightly holding the cell phone…”

Tears blurred my eyes….
