　　But how could such a good man have his life cut short so suddenly! I had been so sad and angry that I completely 20_______ the house. That leaky faucet somehow awakened me to the fact that I now had to 21_______ the challenge of getting things fixed.

　　I got a workman named Ahmed. Entering the house, he stopped before a picture of Steve and me. “Doesn’t your husband 22_______ this kind of work?” he asked. “It’s not hard.”

　　“He died months ago. When he was alive, he did all the repair jobs 23_______.” I said quietly. Ahmed looked at me 24_______, but he didn’t reply. He fixed the faucet, adjusted the dishwasher door, and replaced a showerhead. Apparently he was gifted as Steve had been.

　　He did a(n) 25_______ job. I asked him to name his fee. “No charge, Ma’am,” he said. “My father died early, and the neighbors helped my family through.”

　　By fixing a faucet, Ahmed mended my soul. Although I would sure carry the pain of 26_______ with me along, Ahmed reminded me of the abundant 27_______ in the world.
