The next year I was shocked to hear through Christy’s efforts, the drama department was going to try to $90, 000 for a former schoolmate named Robin who was suffering from cystic fibrosis(囊肿性纤维化).

She told us we needed to keep writing. Christy put all the letters in envelopes, stamped them, and made sure they were sent.

She that Christy Hauser had died in a car accident that evening. I had left rehearsal(排练)too early to hear about the . With the phone still to my ear, I stood still as I remembered all the miraculous she had organized.
The next morning I looked into those eyes around me and was comforted by the fact that despite losing a great person, Christy’s heart was too strong to ever truly stop giving.
