I believe in miracles 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  36  in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he  37   I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would  38  to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  39 of her mouth.A careful examination later  40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the  41  of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just  42 .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable  43  on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to  44  me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,  45  treatment.
About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and  46 .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded  47  high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered  48  ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  50 .
I had read of such things happening,but had  51  seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting  52  to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  55 we choose to find it.
