My family was very concerned for my sister ... and understandably so. Helen was on a flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix. Although the flight was short, it provided 1 time for her to get to know the Morrisons, an Arizona couple seated in her row. The plane was only in the air for a couple of minutes 2 the wife, Marcie, fell asleep, leaving her husband Daniel and my sister sitting next to each other in silence. Maybe it was a feeling of 3 that sparked it, or maybe it was the need to 4 . Whatever the case, within minutes Daniel began to 5 the couple’s story. He told my sister how he and Marcie had flown to Los Angeles that morning to meet with a doctor of 6 medicine about treating Marcie, only 35, for her stage 4 breast cancer. 7 the diagnosis of the doctors in Phoenix had given Marcie only a few months to live, the couple had decided to 8 other forms of treatment. Although they both felt 9 about what had been described to them that day, they were also dismayed to learn that the alternative treatment 0 a $34,000 price tag and would not be covered by 11 . Additionally, they’d have to pay for a place to 12 while Marcie underwent treatment. When it came time to deplane, Daniel 13 Marcie, and since she was unable to walk, requested a wheelchair. It was while my sister was waiting with them for the chair that she made the 14 that they could stay with her during their trips to Los Angeles. Helen received a call from Daniel the following week saying that he and Marcie had 15 it over and they would like to take her up on her 16 offer. They arrived the following Wednesday and left on Sunday. And this 17 continued for several months. What 18 —what plan—had brought the three of them together and then compelled her to invite them into her home? Whatever the case, she knew that she had done exactly as she was supposed to. I guess it would be a (n) 19 to say that my family’s feelings of concern changed to feelings of 20 !
