I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 37 and started playing with each other． In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. 38 of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 39 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 40 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 41_ at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 42 deserted her. When people were calling her 43 , I knew I still 44 her like a sister．
Yesterday she came 45 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 46 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 47 ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 48 me． I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 49 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 50 your friends．

When Teresa，a widow with four young children，saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a 16 family，she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen 17 ．She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to 18 the people’s help．
The route was 19 ，and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house．When the pastor saw her，he said，“ We 20 expected you to join us ,
Teresa．We know it’s been a great 21 since your husband died，and we all wanted
to 22 you．”
