When I got the news, I drove home 42 that we just don’t know when a loved one is 43 going to be with us. We sometimes take our loved ones 44 , and we expect that they will be with us forever. 45 , as we all know, life does not work that 46 and sometimes we get a wake up call that shocks us and makes us 47 and realize how short life is. In comforting her at the funeral, I tried to imagine if I was in her 48 how would I feel. As I was leaving the 49 , I ran into a Marilyn, who has been a true friend to me over the years. When she asked me how my job was, I started 50 things through. I was having a 51 week with my job and I was telling her how I was feeling. She listened to me as I was shouting my 52 , then without saying a word, she took her hands and 53 them on my face, and said to me, “But at least you had a day.” The 54 of her hands on my cheeks, the 55 in her voice, and the words she spoke, “BUT AT LEAST YOU HAD A DAY”, hit me like a ton of 56 . All the frustrations, all the stress that was 57 inside me - came to a complete 58 . Since that day, when I start feeling 59 , I remind myself of Marilyns words - but at least I had a day! Things could be a lot 60 , but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for. 41. A. symbol B. punishment C. shock D. warning 42. A. knowing B. imagining C. admiring D. realizing 43.
