Most people need to hear those “three little words” -- I love you. Sometimes they hear them just in time.
I met Connie in the hospital where I worked as a volunteer. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer(癌症), she was cheerful. I asked if she needed anything. “Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps.” Connie was a romantic. She loved soap operas, and movies with a good love story. As we became familiar, she said how annoyed it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman.”
“I know Bill loves me,” She said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me. I’d give anything if he’d say ‘I love you,’ but it’s just not in his nature.”
Bill visited Connie every day. In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps. Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill, who was a carpenter and made furniture. He and Connie had no children, but they’d been enjoying retirement by travelling, until Connie got sick.
One day, over coffee I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get cards and love letters.
“Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked, and he looked at me as if I was crazy.
“I don't have to,” he said, “She knows I do!”
“I'm sure she knows,” I said, “but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all the years.”
Two days later, I saw Bill leaning up against the wall in the hallway and staring at the floor. The head nurse told me Connie had died at 11 a.m..When Bill saw me, his face was wet with tears. Finally, he took a deep breath. “I have to say how good I feel about telling her.” He stopped to blow his nose. “I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her. You should have seen her smile!”
I went into the room to say my own good-bye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill. “To my wonderful wife…I love you!”

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your hear into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can’t always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
