Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died and the funeral（葬礼）is Wednesday.” Hearing this, Jack remembered his childhood days.

“Jack, did you hear me?”

“Oh, sorry, Mom, I heard you. I thought he died years ago,” Jack said.

“Well, he didn?t forget you. He?d ask me how you were doing. He?d reminisced（回忆）about the many days you spent over ?his side of the fence?,” Mom told him.

“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.

“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man?s influence in your life,” she said.

“He?s the one who taught me important things. Mom, I?ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.

Jack flew to his hometown. Mr. Belser?s funeral was small. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

Returning to his office, he found a package（包裹）on his desk. The return address caught his attention. “Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack opened it. There inside was the gold box and a note. He read it. “After my death, please send this box to Jack Bernett. It?s the thing I valued most in my life.” Tears filling his eyes, Jack opened the box. Inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.

Inside it he found these words, “Jack. Thanks for your time!” “My God! This is the thing he valued most…”

I recently bought a house and moved in the first weekend of July.

Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors who seem to be extremely nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors that I know. I sat down and counted. There were nice neighbors but I decided to add one more person to my list for a total of ten. This lady that I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always manages a sweet smile and a hearty wave. I had no idea what her name was and was not even sure which house she lived in.

My gift idea was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbor?s front porches or door-steps the night of Christmas Eve for them to find, either that night or the next morning. I signed the cards—“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”

My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would ca.., and a couple even came by to thank me .

This morning on my way to work, I placed my mail in the mailbox and noticed a small note inside. I was addressed simply “Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.”

I opened the envelope and took out a “Thank You” card. I opened the card and read the message which really caught me by surprise.

The card said, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on the porch of Richard Kelly. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away less than a month ago. He never stopped talking about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”

I was sincerely moved. I had no idea who Richard Kelly was or that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady?s basket on Mr. Kelly?s porch by accident.

I had been a baseball-card collector as a youth, often collecting and selling drink bottles to pay for my cards. I remember s 71 on the floor and playing the cards for hours. As with many joys of youth, I set the hobby aside when it came for college and jobs.

In 1990, I s 72 reading about how the hobby was hot again, almost to the point of becoming a national fever. I was at a gas station in town when I noticed a box of baseball cards. I remembered how

The next time I was at the store, I bought a few more packs. I gave some of the cards to my eight-year-old son, who was also a baseball fan. We often played out in the yard, h 75 a ball with an oversized plastic bat. Now we had an indoor “sport” that we could s 76 as well.

I k 77 buying packs, and soon I was trying to put together a complete set of 792 cards. But I was unsuccessful in getting a Ken Griffey Jr. Card. Griffey was far and away the most p78 card among collectors that year.

I f 80 ended up with some old and valuable cards. But there?s one card I?d never trade, the Ken Griffey Jr. That card, to me, is what love is all about. 71. s 72. s 7 3. p 74. t 75. h 76. s 7 7. k 78. p 79. h 8 0. f
