Somebody Loves You
One miserable rainy night, a man named Mark decided to end his life. In his mid-fifties, Mark had never been married, 41 the joy of having children or spent holidays with his family. Wet and unhappy, he walked along the streets, feeling as if there was 42 in the entire world that cared whether he lived or died.
43 , I was sitting in my room watching the rain hit my window. When I heard the doorbell ring, I jumped from my chair and 44 out. But my mother was already at the door. Opening it, she found herself face-to-face with a very dirty-looking man with tears streaming down his face. My mother, full of 45 , invited the man inside, and he sat with my parents in our living room.
46 , I walked secretly downstairs so that I could get a better look. I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but the 47 of the man, holding his head in his hands and crying, made my chest ache. I raced back upstairs to my room and 48 my hand into my money jar. Pulling out my only half-dollar coin, I ran back downstairs.
When I 49 the door of the living room, I walked right in. The three adults looked at me in 50 as I quickly made my way over the stranger. I put the half-dollar in his hand and told him that I wanted him to have it. Then I gave him a 51 , turned and ran as fast as I could out of the room and back upstairs. I felt excited but happy.
Downstairs, Mark sat quietly with his head 52 . Tears streamed down his face as he tightly held that coin. Finally looking up at my parents, he said, “It’s 53 that I thought nobody cared. For the last twenty years, I have been so 54 . That is the first hug I have ever got. It’s hard to believe that somebody 55 .”
Mark’s life changed that night. When he left our house, he was 56 to live instead of die. 57 we never saw Mark again, we received letters from him every once in a while, letting us know that he was doing fine.
My life changed that night, too, as I witnessed the huge healing(治癒的) power of 58 even if it’s only a gift of fifty cents.
Before Mark left, my parents asked him why he had knocked on our door. Mark said that 59 he’d walked along the streets that rainy night, helpless and ready to 60 , he had noticed a sticker on the car. It read: SOMEBODY LOVES YOU.
