children infected with HIV. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that
great 2 can be found in the smallest individuals. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was 3 infected with HIV;his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life,
he was dependent on medications to 4 him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube inserted in a
vein(静脉) in his chest. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his 5 .
Tyler wasn"t 6 to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not 7
to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicineloaded backpack and 8 his
tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon (小手推车). All of us who knew Tyler were impressed by
his pure 9 in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler"s mom often 10 him by telling him that
he moved so 11 she needed to dress him in red. That way,when she peered through the window to
check on him playing in the yard,she could quickly 12 him.
This deadly disease eventually 13 down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, 14 did his
HIVinfected mother. When it became 15 that he wasn"t going to survive, Tyler"s mom talked to him
about 16 . She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too,and that she would be with him
soon in heaven.
A few days before his death,Tyler 17 to me to come to his hospital bed and 18 ,"I might die
soon. I"m not 19 . When I die,please dress me in 20 . Mom promised she"s coming to heaven, too.
I"ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."
