In 1997，I had a lovely child and it was Nicole who took care of me and him.Years later，I returned the favour.I helped out when her husband was sick， （6） her and giving her support.More and more，we drew inspiration from each other.
（7） ，the pandemic hit.My husband was out of work and my son couldn't be back to Britain because of the virus.I was （8） about them.Nicole helped my family to prepare for the pandemic and shared necessities with me.Without her，I couldn't go through（9） times.
