My brother-in-law lifted out a package in which was delicate lingerie（女式内衣）“Jan bought it 8 years ago   36   she never wore it. She was   37   it for a special occasion.” He put it with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician（殡仪员）. “Don't save anything for a special occasion. Every day when you're   38   is a special gift.” he said.

I remembered those words through the funeral（葬礼）and the days that followed when I helped with all the chores after Jan's sudden   39  . I thought about them on the plane returning to California.

It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours were __50__ . Angry because I   51   seeing good friends I was going to get in touch with — someday. Angry and __52__ that I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.

I'm trying not to put off, or save anything that would add   53   and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself it is   54  . Every day, every minute, every breath truly is a（n）  55   from God.
