The Healing
Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.
Thirty hours ago, Jim drove to the baby-sitter’s home to      Joshua. It was a     trip, like the one he made five days every week. He arrived, and little Joshua could not be        from his nap. The next few hours were a time of life and death: the racing ambulance, swift-moving doctors and nurse. But 12 hours later, at Children’s Hospital,      the doctors had exhausted(用盡) all     , little Joshua was gone. Yes, they wanted       of Joshua’s usable organs to be donated. That was not a      decision for Jim and Connie, a loving and       couple.
The next morning dawned and many things had to be arranged. Telephone calls and funeral plans.       one point Jim realized he needed a     .When Jim settled into the chair      the barber’s, he began to        the past hours, trying to       some sense of it all.      had Joshua, their first-born, the child they had waited so long for, been taken so soon….He had     begun his life. The question kept coming, and the pain in Jim’s heart just       him.
While talking with the barber, Jim mentioned the organ donations, looking at his watch, “They are transplanting one of his heart valves(瓣膜)right now.”
The       stopped and stood motionless. Finally she spoke, but it was only a whisper. “You’re not going to believe this. But about an hour ago the customer sitting in this chair wanted me to hurry       she could get to Children’s Hospital. She       here so full of joy. Her prayers had been answered. Today her baby granddaughter is receiving a     needed transplant—a heart valve.”
Jim’s healing began.

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤兒院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so      of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)       . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to       it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a         . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so       and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a        , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was         it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand         it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you          to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I         with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was         stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never         it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管員), thinking that she would         it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I         that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her         to get something important. I followed her         into a dark corner. She picked something up.         she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of         to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to        .
