About ten years ago, I was on a plane going west, and a young woman boarded and sat across the aisle (过道) from me. I 41 her for two reasons. She was very attractive, and she was holding a teddy bear about half her 42 . I teased her by asking if she had a 43 for the bear. She laughed and said no.
About halfway through the flight she 44 over and told me she was going to Tucson to enter rehab (进行康复治疗). She 45 to share her life story with me. She had been working as a dancer in a nightclub. That 46 had led her down a dark 47 to drugs and alcohol. As I listened to her story. I was 48 at all she had gone through. I listened to all she shared and told her I was sure she was going to 49 it. At the end of the flight, she 50 me for listening to her.
A few years later, I got a 51 in the mail saying, “Wow, it’s been years since we met on that plane. It is 52 how you touched my life.” She went on to tell me that she had 53 to stay away from drugs, and had been working for a radio station. She felt she had achieved things she could not have 54 that day on the plane. We agreed to set up a time to get 55 .
When I saw her, she was 56 the attractive young woman I remembered. She told me that that little 57 we had had turned her life around. She had boarded the plane 58 anything would work in her life, and my affirmation (肯定) of her as a person and of her 59 had given her the last bit of 60 she needed to work through her problems.
The young woman taught me it’s never too late to make a new start in life.
