“But what if I break my arm again？”My five-year-old daughter asked,looking very　1　.I knew she　2　very much to learn to ride,but ever since she’d fallen off her bike and broken her arm,she’d been afraid.

“Oh,honey,”I said.“I don’t think you’ll break another arm.”“　3　I could,couldn’t I？”“You know,honey,”I said,“　4　everything you do comes with risks.You could get a broken arm in a car　5　and then be afraid to　6　ride in a car again.You could break your arm jumping a rope.You could break your arm at gym.Do you want to　7　going to gym？”“No,”she said.And with a determined spirit,she stood up and　8　to try again.

I spent the rest of the afternoon at the park watching a very　9　little girl overcome a fear,and　10　myself on being a useful single parent after a painful divorce(离婚)．

As we walked home,she asked me about a conversation she’d overheard me having with my　11　the night before.

“Grandma wanted you to find someone to　12　.”“What grandma wants is for someone to　13　my heart again.”“But Mom...”“You’re too young to　14　it,”I told her.“So I guess love isn’t like a broken arm.”she said. 　15　to answer,we walked the rest of the way in　16　.When I got home,I called my mother and　17　her for talking about this to my daughter.Then I did what I’d seen my brave little girl do that very afternoon.I agreed to　18　Steve.

Steve was the man for me.We　19　less than a year later.It turned out my mother and  daughter were　20　.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal­Mart. She must have been 6 years old. It was　31　outside. We all stood just　32　the door of the Wal­Mart.

Her voice was so sweet for the　33　waiting.“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.

“What？” Mom asked.

“Let’s run through the rain！” She　34　.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it　35　down a bit,” Mom replied.

This young child waited about　36　minute and repeated,“Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get soaked if we do,” Mom said.

“Don’t you remember？When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,‘If God can get us　39　this, he can get us through anything！’”

The entire crowd became dead silent. I  40  you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. Mom  41  and thought for a moment about what she would say.
