I settled into my seat in the audience at Good Morning America and stared down at the shoes I was wearing, My little sister’s shoes. Emily had died eight months earlier, a slow,____death from cervical cancer. I had inherited her gray, slip-on Converse sneakers with white laces. I loved those shoes. I____them too. Every time I put them on, I was____that I wouldn't see my sister or hold her again for a long，long time.

Emily and I hadn’t been close growing up. We were quite the____. She was the type to jump up in the morning and start her day, with GMA on the TV, while I liked____better than a quiet morning with coffee and Scripture. When she got sick，I flew from New York to her home in Louisiana to____her. As if the Lord and his love were working through me, our____melted away，and all I felt for Emily was love.

That made her passing all the more devastating(令人沮丧的）.I looked at her____and thought about how she’d suffered. I thought about how much I____her, how I just wanted to feel her presence again.

Going to a taping of GMA had ____Emily’s wish list. Emily had drawn hope from the host Robin Roberts，a two-time cancer survivor. She was more than just a star. Emily had felt a spiritual ____to Robin. I'd scored tickets to a show featuring the singer Mandisa,____music video for “Overcomer” had____my sister during her illness.

I just wanted to wear Emily’s shoes to the show and glance at her two heroes, my way of living her____for her. As soon as Robin Roberts stepped on set, I felt Emily's excitement rush____ me，pushing up from her shoes. Oh, sister. This is it! I thought.

At the first commercial break, Robin mingled(与…交谈)with the audience. Maybe I can get a picture with our shoes? I thought. I pushed my way through the crowd until,____，I was standing in front of her. “I’m here in my little sister’s shoes,” I said. “She died of cancer eight months ago. You were her absolute____. Can I take a picture with you?”

Robin’s eyes filled with____“Thank you for sharing that with me,” she said, pulling me to her. “God bless you. Of course, we can take a picture.” I sat down again, my heart____Robin Roberts now knew Emily in some mystical way, two souls connected in the wide world. It was so much_____ I could have hoped for.
