My aunt Edith was a widow of 50,working as a secretary,when doctors discovered what was then thought to be a very serious heart ailment.
Aunt Edith doesn accept defeat easily.She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon,Dr.Michael DeBakey,of Houston,Texas.HE had saved the life of someone with the same ailment.The article said Dr.DeBakey fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn possibly pay them.But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay?
So Aunt Edith wrote to him.She simply listed her reasons for wanting live:her three children,who would be on their own in three or four more years,her little-girl dream of traveling and seeing the world.There wasn a word of self-pity---only warmth and humor and the joy of living.She mailed the letter,not really expecting an answer.
A few days later,my doorbell rang.Aunt Edith didn wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud:our beautiful letter moved me very deeply.If you can come to Houston,there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.Signedichael DeBakey.
That was seven years ago.Since then,Aunt Edith has been around the world.Her three children are happily married.For her age,she is one of the youngest,most alive people I know

我的阿姨伊迪丝是一位50岁的寡妇,她是一位秘书.后来医生发现她患有严重的心脏疾病.
伊迪丝并没有轻易地接受打击.她就开始在图书馆学习医学报告,并且在一份杂志文章上发现了一位著名的心脏外科医生,他是伦敦得克萨斯州的“迈克尔·狄贝基”,他拯救过具有相同疾病的人.文章说,医生狄贝基的医疗费用很高;伊迪丝阿姨无法支付如此高的费用.但是她要怎样告诉他,谁会为她担负这份费用呢?
然后伊迪丝阿姨写信给他,她简单地写下了自己想要活下去的理由,他那三个幼小的孩子以后怎么可以自己生活三四年或更多年,她的小女儿还梦想长大后环游世界,没有一个字提及自怜.唯有得是”温暖,幽默,和那些生活的乐趣.她寄出了这封信,并没有带多大的希望.
几天以后,我的门铃响了,伊迪丝阿姨并没有迫不及待地进来,她站在大厅里,大声地朗读着：”你那美丽的信件深深地打动了我,如果你可以来休斯敦,我们将为您免费治疗,包括住院和手术.签名“迈克尔·狄贝基”.
那是七年前,从那时起,伊迪丝阿姨已走遍世界,她的三个孩子生活很快乐并且已经结婚.对于她的年龄而言,她是我知道的最年轻,最有活力的人.
