My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.

I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (难民).　 Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.

When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have. I think about this moment many times during my “adventures”. I did not know then how prophetic (先知的) those words would be. She is with me still.

I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 16  them myself.

I learnt so much about them that I could19a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 20 .

You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21big prizes.

My wife had been changing her 22  to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 23  of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 24  way off and set them free. Some of the 25  were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 27  storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 28 . Then I'd watch them 29  round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 31  what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 33 .

Then last year we had a 34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 35. It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.
