There weren't many people at church that day. One of them was an old lady sitting at the end of my row. She was smiling. I closed my eyes and prayed for my grandfather to get better. Soon, my eyes were full of tears. I opened my eyes and saw a hand in front of me. It was giving me a tissue(纸巾)。

When I opened them, she wasn't there. I left the church but still couldn't find her. I never saw her again.

My grandfather died the next week. We all cried a lot. But when I thought of that old lady's warm smile, I felt a little better.
