I looked 12 her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. "13 are you playing the piano here?" I asked her with a smile. She 14 that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and that she tried to cheer 15 up by playing music.
I smiled a little wider, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.
