The nursing home has been Melinda’s new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic(不现实的) but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.

“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That’s what she loved about him most - he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year, followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly- Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey” George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.

“Mom! ” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.

When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.

However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here.”

One day they asked an old man to be the judge. Mr. Black drew an apple tree. He put his picture in the field. Soon the birds came and tried to eat the apples. The old man saw it and said, “You have certainly won. Mr. White cannot draw so good a picture as yours. But we will go to see his picture.”

They went to Mr. White’s house. There were nothing but red beautiful curtains on the wall. The old man asked, “Where is your picture, Mr. White?” He said, “Lift the curtains, and you will find my picture.” The old man tried to lift the curtains but found that they were drawn there. They were Mr. White’s picture. The old man said, “Birds thought the apples were real. Men thought the curtains were real. So Mr. White won. His picture is the best one.”

【推荐3】After attending another parent meeting about my 7-year-old child’s behavior, I didn’t know what to do. It was the second school we had tried for Nathan and, as always, everything was being done for my child’s needs. It was also having bad influence on Nathan. He would come home and say, “Mom, I hate my life. I do not want to live any more.” I was afraid that my son was beginning to suffer from depression(抑郁) and that I was losing him. We needed help.

By the age of seven, Nathan had already had three surgeries (外科手术) for his ears. He was in great pain, which made it difficult for him to learn or pay attention. Despite Nathan’s bad condition, the staff at two former schools seemed as if they didn’t care. They often forgot to deal with his medication（药剂）. As a result of many times of ear infections (感染), Nathan had hearing loss. To make things worse, Nathan’s speech was not very good. Children would make fun of him and Nathan began to fall behind in study.

When I first set foot into Ripley House Charter School, I knew this was the school for my son. It felt positive from the moment I entered. From the start, Mrs. Elsen and her staff heard my concern over Nathan. Mrs. Elsen dealt with my concern, not with empty words but with action.

That day, Nathan came home from his first day of school saying, “Mom, I love school!” By the end of the week he was saying, “Mom, I like my life. I have a good life.” Ripley House Charter School gave me my son back and saved our lives. Thank you for giving me back what we had lost—HOPE.
