She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle (雀斑)-faced image of innocence. It was outside, the kind of rain that spilt over the top of gutters (檐槽), so much in a hurry to   the Earth.

      We all   there inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patient, others       , because nature messed up their hurried day.  I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens   away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running and splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome   from the worries of my day.

“We’ll get wet through if we do.” Mom said.

“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning.” The young girl said as she   at her Mom’s arm, “Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, if God can get us through this, he can get us through   !”

If we get wet, maybe we just need washing.” Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling as they ran past the cars. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. Soon they were   by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

      or people can take away your material possessions, your money, your health or sometimes your happiness. But no one can ever take away your   memories. So don’t forget to take the opportunities to   memories every day!
