32Learning About Loss Before It’s Too Late
一、请根据两个提示句进行故事续写，150词左右。
One day last week I woke up in a bad mood. Why We were out of coffee. I was late paying a bill. My favorite clock had just stopped working. I even forgot to say “good morning” to my husband Bob. After all, we’ve been waking up together for 32 years. As usual, we both got out of bed and headed right to our desks.
I checked e-mail and replied to people who were complaining about rainy days as if we were all living through an awful disaster.Then I noticed an e-mail from a fellow named John who first wrote to me a year ago. He was responding to a column I had written about relationship troubles that Bob and I had overcome:
“Hello Saralee. My wife Donna pointed out an article by you she found moving. It brought her to tears. I’m a grown man who can be very emotional. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a happy ending and everything was fine. Few couples these days enjoy the closeness that you have with your husband. I am proud to say that I have been with my beloved for 26 years and she’s still the one.”
When I saw his name on this current e-mail, I was hoping to read more about his loving marriage. He wrote:
“Two days ago my wife fell down a flight of stairs（一段楼梯）. I lost the only girl I will ever love. She was only 54 and in perfect health.” I stared at his words as my life was completely changed in less than one minute. I cried as I read the rest of John’s note: “She was an organ donor(器官捐献者) and I am told that because of her good health she can help as many as 50 people. It has been nice talking to you about the love of my life.”
I could hear Bob in his study. He was still in a bad mood. I asked him to come in and read John’s e-mail.

Learning About Loss Before It’s Too Late
One day last week I woke up in a lousymood. Why We were out of coffee. I was late paying a MasterCard bill. My favorite clock had just stopped working.
I didn’t even think of saying “good morning” to my husband Bob. After all, we’ve been waking up together for 32 years. As usual, we both got out of bed and headed right to our desks.
I checked e-mail and replied to people who were complaining about rainy days as if we were all living through a catastrophic disaster.
One more e-mailremained. It was from a fellow named John. And it turned out to be a breath-stopping shock.
The first time John wrote to me was about a year ago. He was responding to a column I had written about relationship troubles that Bob and I had overcome:
“Hello Saralee. My wife Donna pointed out an article by you she found moving. It brought her to tears. I’m a grown man who can be very emotional. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a happy ending and everything was fine. Few couples these days enjoy the closeness that you have with your spouse. I am proud to say that I have been with my beloved for 26 years and she’s still the one.”
When I saw his name on this current e-mail, I was hoping to read more about his loving marriage. He wrote:
“Two days ago my wife fell down a flightof stairs. I lost the only girl I will ever love. She was only 54 and in perfect health.”
I stared at his words as my life was overhauled in less than one minute.
I could hear Bob in his study. He was in a bad mood because he kept getting cut off during a phone call to our veterinarian. I asked him to come in and read John’s e-mail.
As he was reading, his demeanor changed. In slow motion, he went from appearing uptight and annoyed to sadly calm. With a deep sigh he said, “Thank you for having me read this.”
I cried as I re-read the rest of John’s note: “She was an organdonor and I am told that because of her good health she can help as many as 50 people. It has been nice talking to you about the love with our spouses.”
I responded, “Your e-mail made me think about so many stupid things I get upset about.You gave me a huge wake-up call as to what matters in life and what doesn’t.” When I asked for his permission to write about this lesson, he kindly agreed and said, “I’m sure Donna would be honored.”
I am the one honored to be writing about Donna’s many legacies. She selflessly changed the lives of 50 people by giving precious gifts from her body. Through the words of her adoring husband, she leaves behind and continues to teach the profound yet often overlooked lesson: love is what is most important. I am also hoping she will help many realize, the way I did, that most everything is small potatoes comparedto love, life and death.
And so this morning, it didn’t faze me that I was out of computer paper when adeadline was imminent or that we, along with many others, are so hurting for money that we’re on food stamps.
In silence, I said, “Thank you, John, for being so open with me about your tender love affair. Thank you for showing me that living in the moment is the path to joy, because all future moments are truly unpredictable. Thank you, Donna, for showing me that giving, in its most gracious and noble form, is done without expecting anything in return. Eternally, you will always be ‘the one’—for John—for 50 peoples’ lives you will now be an extraordinary part of... and for me.”
And then I said “good morning” to Bob.

As my husband was reading the letter, his mood began to changed. In slow motion, he went from appearing anxious and annoyed to sadly calm. With a deep sigh he said, “Thank you for having me read this.” Seeing tears in my eyes, Bob opened his arms wide to embrace me. “I am sorry that we have forgotten how to love life as it is.” I cried in Bob’s arms just like the little girl when we just fell in love with all the tough but loving days flooding in our minds.
After recalling the hard but loving days with my husband, I responded to the letter. “Thank you, John, for being so open with me about your tender love affair. Thank you for showing me that living in the moment is the path to joy, because all future moments are truly unpredictable. Thank you, Donna, for showing me that giving, in its most gracious and noble form, is done without expecting anything in return. ” And then I said “good morning” to Bob.
