英语经典美文故事：心灵来自天使的爱抚
It was only a few weeks after my surgery, and I went to Dr.
Belt's office for a checkup. It was just after my first
chemotherapy treatment.
My scar was still very tender. My arm was numb
underneath. This whole set of unique and weird sensations
was like having a new roommate to share the two- bedroom
apartment formerly known as my breasts - now lovingly
known as "the breast and the chest."
As usual, I was taken to an examination room to have my
blood drawn, again - a terrifying process for me, since
I'm so frightened of needles.
I lay down on the examining table. I'd worn a big
plaid flannel shirt and a camisole underneath. It was a carefully
thought out costume that I hoped others would regard as a
1

casual wardrobe choice. The plaid camouflaged my new chest,
the camisole protected it and the buttons on the shirt made
for easy medical access.
Ramona entered the room. Her warm sparkling smile was
familiar, and stood out in contrast to my fears. I'd first
seen her in the office a few weeks earlier. She wasn't my
nurse on that day, but I remember her because she was
laughing. She laughed in deep, round and rich tones. I
remember wondering what could be so funny behind that
medical door. What could she possibly find to laugh about at a
time like this? So I decided she wasn't serious enough
about the whole thing and that I would try to find a nurse who
was. But I was wrong.
This day was different. Ramona had taken my blood
before. She knew about my fear of needles, and she kindly hid
the paraphernalia under a magazine with a bright blue picture
of a kitchen being remodeled. As we opened the blouse and
dropped the camisole, the catheter on my breast was exposed
and the fresh scar on my chest could be seen.
She said, "How is your scar healing?"
I said, "I think pretty well. I wash around it gently
each day." The memory of the shower water hitting my
2

numb chest flashed across my face.
She gently reached over and ran her hand across the scar,
examining the smoothness of the healing skin and looking for
any irregularities. I began to cry gently and quietly. She
brought her warm eyes to mine and said, "You
haven't touched it yet, have you?" And I said,
"No."
So this wonderful, warm woman laid the palm of her
golden brown hand on my pale chest and she gently held it
there. For a long time. I continued to cry quietly. In soft tones
she said, "This is part of your body. This is you. It's
okay to touch it." But I couldn't. So she touched it
for me. The scar. The healing wound. And beneath it, she
touched my Ramona said, "I'll hold
your hand while you touch it." So she placed her hand
next to mine, and we both were quiet. That was the gift that
Ramona gave me.
That night as I lay down to sleep, I gently placed my hand
on my chest and I left it there until I dozed off. I knew I
wasn't alone. We were all in bed together, metaphorically
speaking, my breast, my chest, Ramona's gift and me.

One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks
into a lawyer's office. Apparently, they are there to file a
divorce. Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with
them, he got their story.
This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over years of
marriage nothing ever seems to go right.
They hang on because of their children, afraid that it
might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have
already grown up, have their own family, there's nothing
else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to
lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness
from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.
Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers
done, because he felt that after 40 years of marriage at the age
of 70, he couldn't understand why the old couple would
still wants a divorce.
While they were signing the papers, the wife told the
husband. “I really love you, but I really can't carry on
anymore, I'm sorry.”
"It's OK, I understand." said the husband.
Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just
three of them, wife thought, why not, since they are still going
4

be friends.
At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness.
The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old
man took the drumstick for the old lady. "Take this,
it's your favorite."
Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there's
still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer.
"This is always the problem, you always think so highly
of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don't you
know that I hate drumsticks?”
Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have
been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that
drumsticks was the husband's favorite.
Little did he know that she never thought he understand
her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even
though all he wants is the best for her.
That night, both of them couldn't sleep, toss and
turn, toss and turn. After hours, the old man couldn't
take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he
can't carry on life without her, he wants her back, he
wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her, "I love
you."

He picks up the phone, started dialing her number.
Ringing never stops. He never stop dialing.
On the other side, she was sad, she couldn't
understand how come after all these years, he still
doesn't understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she
just can't take it any- more. Phone's ringing, she
refuses to answer knowing that it's him.
"What’s the point of talking now that it's
over. I have asked for it and now. I want to keep it this way, if
not I will lose face. "She thought. Phone still ringing. She
has decided to pull out the cord.
Little did she remember, he had heart problems.
The next day, she received news that he had passed away.
She rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the
couch still holding on to the phone. He had a heart attack
when he was still trying to get thru her phone line.
As sad as she could be. She will have to clear his
belongings. When she was looking thru the drawers, she saw
this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married,
beneficiary is her. Together in that file there's this note.
"To my dearest wife, by the time you are reading
this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this
6

policy for you, though the amount is only $$100k, I hope it will
be able to help me continue my promise that I have made
when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want
this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like
the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I
will always be around, by your side. I love you."
Tears flowed like river.
