| "Son!" Tim"s father shouted, "Is it possible for you to turn that noise down!?" "Sorry dad, but I love to play it loud because it makes me happy!" Tim replied while driving. He had bought the car a week before he got his driver"s license. The old car was all he could afford with the money he"d earned since he was 14 mowing lawns (修草坪) in his neighborhood. "Tim", his father asked again with that same worried look Tim was used to seeing, "What makes you happy by listening to that screaming (尖声的) guitar and what"s the name of that trash?" "The song is called "Happy"." "All I hear is that noisy guitar." "You never listen long enough to hear the words!" They continued arguing. As Tim neared the bend in the narrow road leading to their home, a new red sports car was out of control. Tim madly tried to turn to the right but the red car hit the driver"s side of Tim"s car very quickly. Tim"s father saw Tim"s face was covered in blood. The driver of the red sports car ran near. "Sir, I"m sorry! Here"s my phone!" the young man shouted with a strong smell of beer on his breath. Tim was taken to the hospital. As Tim"s mother arrived, she and her husband cried with fear uncontrollably. Then the doctor asked them to come to a private room. "Your son asked that if he died, I"d promise to tell his dad something. Sir, he asked me to tell you to please listen long enough to hear the words." Two weeks after Tim"s burial (葬礼), his father opened the door of the car that he simply could not bear to sell. He turned Tim"s favorite song up loudly and listened until he heard the words."I"m so happy; I"m so grateful." He knew what Tim had been trying to tell him for so many years. Tearfully he read the words:"A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but sadness destroys the spirit." | ||||||||||||||||||

| Mama and Daddy loved having the family together on Christmas. They spent days making candy and cookies, preparing gifts and decorating. Forty-four years together made them a great team. But with Mama"s unexpected death in the spring, we now faced our first Christmas without her. The holidays would be especially hard for Daddy. We tried to comfort him. We would all be with him on Christmas as usual. On Christmas Eve a small snow turned to a heavy one, covering our yard and 150-foot driveway, as well as the access road (干道的支路). We started cleaning, but the snow was falling faster than we could keep up. The weatherman predicted the storm would continue through the night. Church services were also canceled. "We"ll be there as soon as possible in the morning," I told Daddy on the phone. But inside I wondered how. Early Christmas morning we began digging through stomach-high snow. We finished the driveway, but seeing the mountains of snow on the access road, we admitted failure. As I stared at the access road, I heard the sound of a snowblower. Lord, please help us get to Daddy today, I prayed. The sound of the snowblower grew louder. I looked up. There, coming straight toward us was a big yellow machine with a huge plow (犁) effortlessly clearing a path through the snow-packed road. I stared in disbelief. Never in our 18 years here had the snow been plowed on this road. The driver of the snowblower sat up straight at the wheel and was warmly dressed, collar (衣领) up, cap down-and wings beneath his coat, I"m sure. | ||||||||||||||||||
