[2020·湖北省部分重点中学高三第一次考试]It seemed like a typical November day, two years ago, as I walked out of Walgreens. It was just a month after my grandmother had passed away and I spent my days running useless errands (差事) hoping to distract myself from the pain.
As I attempted to walk out of the store, I felt frustrated by everything around me. I was angry because I couldn't even remember what I went there to buy, so I ended up spending over $20 on useless things just to waste time and money, both of which I didn't have.
Feeling depressed and hopeless, I began walking to my car. Every step seemed exhausting, and every step was another to survive. Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me，” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me，” she said again.
As I got closer, I was astonished—was this my grandmother's nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasn't, although the resemblance was hard to believe. Then, I realized that this Adu look alike was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome with a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time when the lady was searching. Under a mess of makeup, money, pens, and other belongings, she finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a threepage booklet. “It looks like you need this，” she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.
I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used brochure and the front cover in big bold (黑体的) letters read “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones？”
I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass away, but their spirits remain with us. It was a random day in November when my life turned around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle.
