Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our __45__ to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me，“Do you know the most important body part yet，my dear？” I was__46__ when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a __47__ between her and me. She saw the __48__ on my face and told me，“This question is very important. It shows that you have really__49__ your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears.

I only hope that you have enough __52__ and friends and that you will have a shoulder to cry __53__ when you need it.” Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a __54__ one. It is sympathetic to the pain of __55__.
