It was a hot summer day.My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and my dog.That was when the phone call came,the call that made that bright,beautiful day a cold,dark one.
"Max,I'm so sorry," I heard my father say while speaking on the phone.That was when it hit me.I knew that Suzie had died.
Max has been my dad's best friend for years.Suzie,Max's daughter,had a rare disease that affected (影響) her body,but did not affect her brain.So as her condition became worse and worse,she continued to be aware of what was going on.She knew that she had problems that made her different from other kids.Still,although she couldn't live a normal life,she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little,we spent quite a bit of time together,but when Suzie turned ten she had to move away to a hospital in Virginia.About eight months before she died,Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end.Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life.She wanted to know everything I did and everything I ate.In a way,she lived through me.
When Suzie and I first started calling one another,I thought it would be more of a burden (負擔) on me,but I was completely wrong.I learned so much from her.She gave me more than I could give to her.I will never forget her or the talks we had.I now know that I must never take anything for granted,especially my health and the gift of life.
