sparkle so. I know that her husband does not think slle has
long to live. He tries to conceal his feelings and look brave
and confident， especially when he is with her. Though he
smiles， his eyes give him away~thcy are very sad.
I pray for Helen， mostly because that is all I can do. I pray
that God s will be done， because that is all i know how to say.

agreement with her husband~l don t think she has long to
live.

when he left. He is a young priest， and he had told me he is
