    It was the day before Mother's Day this year. There was only me in the house and I was sitting in the chair thinking about my son Todd. I looked up and saw the little Mother's Day statue. Todd gave me that many years before. I put it on a shelf along with other memories（记忆）of passed days. It was hard to believe that Todd left me forever in a car accident in 2003.
    As I sat in my chair, lost in my memories, I thought, "It would sure be nice to get something again from Todd on Mother's Day, God." I knewitwas almost impossible（不可能的）, but I wasn't going to tell anyone and I even thought, "This is between you and me, God." I still smiled and wondered if I might be surprised.
    Later that night Bill came back home from a few days' work. He walked in with a rose. He gave it to me and said it was from Todd!
    I was really happy and moved! In the past 15 years, no one had given me anything and said it was from Todd. I knew God had heard and answered my petitions（祈求）. But I really know that love is everywhere. What important to us is to make our bad memories into good ones.
