I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them．One day，a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old．“There’s a
in my upper jaw，”she said．“I told my own dentist it's nothing，but he
I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her．He would
to add something，but she stopped him．She wanted to tell everything herself．I found a large cancer that spread over much of the
of her mouth．A careful examination later
that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer．
During her next appointment，I explained to her the
of the problem. She clasped (紧握)my hand in hers and said，“I know you’re worried about me，but I’m just
．”
I thought otherwise．After considerable
on my part，and kindness on her part because she wanted to
me，she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon．She saw him，but as I expected，
treatment．
About six months later she returned to my office，still energetic and
．
“How are you?” I asked．
“I’m just fine，honey，”she responded
high spirits．“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all，I answered
，“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it. ”
I couldn’t believe my eyes．The cancer that had
nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness
．
I had read of such things happening，but had
seen them with my own eyes．That was my first miracle．Since then I've seen many others，because they keep getting
to see．In fact，miracles are daily events for me now．And people are a miracle，
through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to
the miracles of one another．
Since my first miracle，I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is
we choose to find it．
