I asked her some usual questions,but she didn’t answer.I was just sitting down when she raised a hand and told me,“Doctor,do everything you can.I need to make it to my daughter’s wedding.”“When is the wedding?”I asked.“Next summer.”She was looking right at me.At this point,I doubted whether she’d make it through the treatment,let alone eight more months.I didn’t know what I could say.

　　I met Stefanie,her daughter,the next morning.The doctor,Mr.Miller,who had been treating her mother was the one telling her that her mother was dying.Stefanie broke down,but understood there was no use denying it.The dream of a family wedding under the summer sun wouldn’t come true.

　　Stefanie called her boyfriend the next day.Crying she told him the news.But without hesitation,he told her,“I want her to be there,too,”and he proposed not only to have the wedding done sooner,but to have it done in the ICU.

　　My job was to make sure the patient’s pain was controlled.But unbelievably,she didn’t need the pain-killing medicine for hours and was fully aware of everything that was going on.Looking at the new couple from her hospital bed,she seemed more comfortable than I had seen her before.It seemed that the cancer took a break.

　　One of the nurses,smiling in her tears,spoke to me after it was all over.“It was magical,”she said,“None of the patient alarms went off.”

　　And yet,four months later,she was still alive,and doing something that could be hoped in the hospital.It was a magic and all the doctors were puzzled.
