My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they had met each other. The goal of their 36 was to write the word "shmily" in a surprising place for the other to find. They 37 leaving "shmily" around the house, and 38 one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more.

Little notes with "shmily" written hurriedly were 39 on dashboards and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.

It took me a long time before I was able to 40 appreciate my grandparents' game. Skepticism （怀疑论）has 41 me from believing in true love---one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents' 42 . It was more than their funny little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on a devotion and passionate affection which not everyone is 43 to experience.　　
　　But there was a dark 44 in my grandparents' life: my grandmother had breast cancer. As always, Grandpa was 45 her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine.
Now the cancer was again 46 her body. With the help of a cane and my grandfather's steady hand, they went to church every morning.47 my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, 48, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while, Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to watch over his wife.
Then one day, what we all feared finally 49. Grandma was gone. "Shmily." It was 50 in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother's funeral banquet. As the crowd 51and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother's casket and, taking a deep 52, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song 53 as a deep and throaty lullaby(催眠曲).

Shaking with my own sorrow, I will never forget that 54, for I knew that, although I couldn't begin to understand the depth of their love, I had been55 to witness its unmatched beauty. SHMILY: See how much I love you.

What are you waiting for? Live life to the fullest. We are not promised tomorrow, so enjoy today.

We believe that life will be 1 after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are discouraged that the kids aren’t 2 enough and we’ll be more pleased when they are. After that, we’re discouraged that we have teenagers to 3 . We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our 4 will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we have our 5 house, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire, when we win the lottery(彩票).

The 6 is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, 7 ?Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be 8

right now.

So, 9 every moment that you have. Recognize that each 10 you take is a gift and be 11 . Remember that time waits for no one. So stop 12 until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you 13 the weight, until you have kids, until your kids 14 the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get 15 , until you get divorced(离婚), until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is 16 , until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you’ve had a drink, until you

17 , until you are born again—to decide, that there is 18 better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a(n) 19 , not a purpose. So, work like you don’t need 20 , love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.
