Fernando and I were arguing about why I never took any real vacations．When he suggested we go off somewhere for three entire weeks，“You decide，”I said．

He chose a little fishing village off the coast and he planned out a schedule．Our trip was full of wormer and fun，but when we got there，the shabby hotel failed to satisfy us，so we left a day early for the beach．As we drove，we passed two orphanages（孤儿院）．Christmas was only a few days away，and I felt that I should stop to do something for the children．

Then Femando came up with a plan to help the poor children we saw．We made a list of names，and then we went into town to buy new clothes，toys，and school supplies．For the rest of the day，we filled backpacks．We were excited about the celebration we had plantted for the next day，December 26，when we'd invite the families to the beach in front of the hotel and hand out the presents．

    Fernando and I were still in bed at around 9：00 the next morning when we heard a cracking sound．“What is that?”I asked．As if in response．water started pouring into our room．The children's backpacks we had arranged so neatly on the floor began floating around．The next thing I knew was that the roof was torn off．and Fernando and I were swept out．

       I thought I was going to die．

       Under the water, I forced myself to calm down and then I popped out．Suddenly I saw Fernando only four feet away．

       “What just happened?”I asked Fernando．

       “Tsunami（海啸）!”，he shouted to me．“Just be strong．Whatever it was，”he told me，“It's all over now．”But a few seconds later，another wave buried us．I tried to grab him as he reached out to me，but he fell back under the water，and I never saw him again．

I opened my new patient's chart and headed for her room. My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver's license. For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did. Rebekah, mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an injection, Rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over. Then she smiled and squeezed my hand. “Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table?" I handed her the worn book. "Do you have a favorite Bible verse?" she asked. "Jesus wept. John 11: 35." "Such a sad one," she said. "Why?""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow." Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me.
During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children. One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder. She picked up a notebook and held it out to me. "I'm making a tape for my daughters, " she said. I read the list on her pad: starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation. While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children's future. She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions. She filled them with family stories and advice，trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours. Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband.
I often wondered what I would say in her place. My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they’d been and who they’d been with. Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?
It was three o'clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital. Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape. She was breathing hard when I entered her room. I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips. "Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape." She held my hand and closed her eyes. "Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy. Please make her feel special. Show her how to take care of you. Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday. Hannah, tell her you don't want meat sauce on your spaghetti. Molly, don't get mad if there's no apple juice. Drink something else. It's okay to be sad, sweeties. Jesus cried too. He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again. Remember, I'll always love you. I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply. "Thank you, Nan, "You'll give this one to them, won't you?" she murmured as she slid into sleep.
A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah's children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah's blanket, I got in my car and hurried home. I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious. That night the kids didn't go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes. And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints，late into the night
