| When a close friend dies, it often forces you to consider your own death. The more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, "it could just as easily have been me." Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess (重新评价) the direction of your own life. Jack"s story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didn"t spend as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his daughter"s eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old. Not long after his friend"s death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up. He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death of his friend. Jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friend"s family to manage after he passed away. Jack realized that he didn"t want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he stared a simple life. Now he is running a small art gallery. He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life. And he has got no more chest pain. | |||

| I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother"s words as if it were yesterday:"Kerrel, I don"t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him." AIDS wasn"t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret (秘密). My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father"s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him. We couldn"t afford all the necessary medication (治疗) for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn"t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher"s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage. I did not share my burden (反应) with anyone, I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults (成人) could be cruel (残酷). When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself. I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life. I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him. He had never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn"t want to call attention to AIDS. I do. | |||
