[2026 扬州江都区期末改编]My daughter Kate had just passed away in a car accident. I was heartbroken. I didn’t think I could 1 those first few weeks.
One night, I had a(n) 2 that changed everything. A clear, calming voice said one sentence to me, “3 Charlotte’s Web. There will be a message in it for you.”
I 4 up, amazed at such a strange dream. Realizing I had never read the children’s book Charlotte’s Web, that morning I went to a bookstore and 5 the book. I sat down and read the classic children’s book all afternoon. The writer wrote about the 6 friendship between Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider. But after I read, I couldn’t find any messages that related to my own 7 for Kate’s passing. It appeared the story focused on Charlotte and Wilbur’s lasting friendship. 8 was the message?
9, it was on the very last page. Charlotte had died, leaving Wilbur completely heartbroken. Yet the writer had written a most loving passage: “Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. 10 he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart.”
These simple, wonderful words 11 my thinking that very moment. No one could ever take Kate’s 12 in my heart. But I could and would go on loving my children and husband who were still living.
That beautiful 13 has stayed with me for twenty-four years now. My children are grown, and
I have grandchildren to 14. Because of my love for Kate, I’ve written a series of novels 15 angels. This all happened because of a dream in which I heard an angel’s voice with a life-changing message for me.
