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   1in my upper jaw,” she said．“I told my own dentist it's nothing, but he   2I come to see you” .

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her．He would  3_ to add something, but she stopped him．She wanted to tell everything herself．I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  4_ of her mouth．A careful examination later   5that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment, I explained to her the   6of the problem．She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just   7_ ．”

I thought otherwise．After considerable  8on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to  9_ me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon．She saw him, but as I expected,  10_ treatment.

About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and   11.

“How are you? ”I asked.

“I’m just fine., honey, ”she responded   12high spirits．“When can I get stared on fixing my dentures（假牙）? ”

Surprised to see her at all, I answered   13, “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it．”

 I couldn’t believe my eyes．The cancer that had  14nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  15_ .

 I had read of such things happening, but had  16_ seen them with my own eyes．That was my first miracle．Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting  17_ to see．In fact, miracles are daily events for me now．And people are in miracle,   18through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  19the miracles of one another．

Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is _20_ we choose to find it .
