It had been a year since Susan, 34, became 4 . Due to a medical misdiagnosis, she was
suddenly 5 into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Mark, her husband, 6 her to
work each day, even though they worked at 7 ends of the city. Soon, however, Mark realized the
arrangement wasn"t 8 . Susan had to start taking the bus again. Just as he predicted, Susan was 9 at
the idea of taking the bus again. "How am I 10 to know where I am going? I feel like you"re abandoning
me," she responded bitterly. Mark taught her how to rely on her other 11 , specifically her hearing, to
determine where she was and how to 12 to her new environment. Monday morning arrived, they went
their 13 ways for the first time.
On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying, the driver said, "I sure
do 14 you. "Curious, she asked the driver, "Why?"
The driver responded, "It must feel 15 to be taken care of and protected like you are. " " What do
you mean?" she asked.
The driver answered, "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a
military uniform has been 16 across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure
you cross the street 17 and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss,
gives you a little salute and walks away. " Tears of happiness poured down Susan"s cheeks. For 18 she
couldn"t physically see him, she had always felt Mark"s presence. He had given her a gift more powerful

One day,a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door
found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However,he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. __he asked for a drink
of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and
then asked,"How much do I owe you?"
"You don"t owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness. " He said, " Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. " As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only

consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on,he gave special
attention to her case.

him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room.

Finally she looked,and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words...
