Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pickup at a building that was   except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked.
A small woman in her 80’s opened the door. I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to    her into the cab. She thanked me for my kindness. When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n)    , then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ?”
“It’s not the     way,” I answered.
“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).”

“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

Sometimes she’d ask me to      in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the sun was      , she suddenly said: “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in      to the address she had given me. There were people waiting for her and they put her in a wheelchair.
“How much do I have to pay you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.
“Nothing,” I said.

“You gave an old woman a little moment of      ,” she said.
I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut.
I didn’t       any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. We tend to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often 12us unconsciously.
