The world needs more people who are truly kind and caring. Yesterday it was about 11:00 p.m. 1 my telephone rang. The number was that of a Best Western Hotel. 2 I don’t pay attention to this type of call. 3, this time, for some reason, I went ahead and answered it.
The man on the 4 end asked if I knew Samuel K., my 91-year-old grandfather. I didn’t 5 why I was the one he had called. The caller went on to tell me that I was the only 6 listed in my grandpa’s phone book.
The 7, Mr. Mason, was the manager of the hotel at which my grandpa had shown up, wanting to rent a room. The 8 was that my grandpa had no money with him. He was 9. He had been going 10 else but had taken the wrong bus and 11 100 miles from home. My grandpa just wanted me to tell Mr. Mason that he was a(n) 12 guy and would pay the money once he got home.
The manager did all he could to help my grandpa, since he didn’t want to 13 my grandpa, and wanted him to spend a 14 night. Not only did he take the time to 15 me, but he also charged just $39 to let my grandpa 16 safely and comfortably overnight. The rooms in that 17 normally go for about $140! And then the staff there all 18 him until my uncle could drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
This is just one more 19 to show that there are still good people out there. Everywhere you go, you can find someone who 20 . Thanks, Mr. Mason!

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I 1 a room with two double beds and a bathroom was too 2for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was3and my stepmother had4us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no5 what to do with me. And that’s when my other family6.
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home7their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I 8with them for the next seven years.
Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She9I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.10I could tell, for the Beaches there was no11between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I12college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew13about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to14his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely15 and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.
16the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (憤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)17that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed by my 18 , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

We all have storms through our lives. But we have no right to make everyone else suffer with our own1.
The carpenter I2to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a(n)3first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his truck4to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony5.
On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused6at a small tree,7tips of the branches with both hands.
When opening the door, he underwent a(n)8transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles, and he9his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
The next day my10drove me to ask him about what I had seen. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied. “I know I can’t11having troubles on the job, but the troubles don’t12to the house with my family. So I just13them up on the tree. Then in the morning I pick them up again.”
“14thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren’t nearly as15as I remember the night before.”
Putting16around our problems is a really good idea --- it prevents our difficulties from spilling over onto loved people, who can’t do anything about our problems. Why17them if they can’t help us?
So, plant yourself a trouble tree outside and use it 18you come home. Be grateful that you have loved ones to go home to19your loved one is simply your beloved dog. And when you picked up your troubles on the way each morning, be20that they’re not as heavy as they were the night before.
