（an extract from Probuditi!）
Calvin waited outside Trudy's bedroom．Then it happened﹣a scream，a very loud scream．Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed．
He heard Mama coming down the hall．
"Did you do this？"his mother asked．Calvin looked out from under the covers．His mother stood over him，holding a rubber spider．
"Do what？"he asked．
"You put that thing in my bed，"Trudy told him，stepping out from behind Mama．
"Don't think that just because it's your birthday you can get away with something like this，"Mama scolded （责骂）．
"You do want your present，don't you？"That wiped the smile off Calvin's face．
"Course I do，"he said．
"Then you apologize （道歉）．"
Calvin dropped his head．"Sorry Trudy，"he muttered （嘟囔）．
"Here，"Mama said．"Happy birthday．"At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope．Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the Magnificent，the world﹣famous magician and hypnotist．"You've got two tickets there，"Mama said，"and I know someone who'd really love to go along．"She smiled at Trudy．
"You don't mean here，do you？"Calvin asked，eyeing his little sister．
"Well，that would be really nice．But those tickets are yours．If you want to ask somebody﹣"Calvin didn't wait for his mother to finish．He rushed out of the house to cell Rodney，his pal next door，that the two of them were going to see Lomax the Magnificent．

I’m Bolivia Williams, a students at Bard College. I was the only person in my family who was Facebook friends with my mom, Rynn, when she died four years ago. At that time, my brother and sister were still young. As soon as we got the news that she died, I thought it would be an easy way to let everyone know what happened. Right after I posted the news, so many people offered their help and shared stories about her.
I like to visit my mom’s page to tell her things that I’m doing and I like to look at her pictures there. I sing with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus（合唱团），and we did a concert for the tenth anniversary （周年纪念日）of 9/11，which was also my mom’s birthday. It was an unforgettable day. I posted, “You will be proud（自豪）of me—I will sing at the site of the World Trade Center tomorrow. I know you will be looking down, smiling. ”When I’m writing to her, it feels like I’m still here.
In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how to face my mom’s death. But I’ve grown up now. I haven’t been on my mom’s page for a month, but I would miss it if it were gone. Her page allows me to think that she’s still here.
I used to go to my mom’s page to look at her pictures, which would make me feel really sad, Now, when I visit it, I smile more often than cry.
