A
From the very first moment I met Mattie on my TV show, I fell in love with him. He was a 10yearold little
__1__
born with a lifethreatening disease. But his poems of peace and
__2__
had touched millions of lives. We became quick friends, emailing each other.
We often talked about the sunrises and sunsets, and I shared with Mattie that being a black, I wasn't a
__3__
person because there was no __4__ for me to tan(晒黑). He strongly
__5__
me to go to the beach that he and his mom visited. He always
__6__
every single second of the present. He could not understand why everybody wasn't out at the pier(码头) at
__7__
during their vacation, because he couldn't
__8__
why people would want to miss a sunrise. I said, “Mattie, most people like to
__9__
on vacation.”
We also talked a lot about
__10__
. He said to me one day, “I sometimes get a little unhappy or angry when I'm
__11__
of dying. The boys who live upstairs said that
__12__
I got famous, I should always be happy and never sad. I don't
__13__
they understand what it's like to know you have to live your life so
__14__
, because unless I keep getting miracles, my life here won't
__15__
. I am afraid of the pain of dying and worried about what I will
__16__
because I love living so, so, so much. ”
He said to me, “I really do want to be a
__17__
when I die.” His dream was to bring his message of peace to as many people as possible.
Mattie
__18__
on June 22, 2004, but the light of his life shone so
