My husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday. We have the double-hung  26  that you can pull forward and flip（翻转），allowing us to  27 the inside and the outside surfaces.

My husband was  28  one window --- and it popped out of its frame!  Well, our  29  is for sale and the last thing we needed was for something to 30 .

He was so 31 and tried with all his strength to get it  32  together, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say). After twenty minutes he still could not get it  33 . That's when my 23-year- old  34  told his dad to  35  for a minute and he would try to fix it with me.

It's amazing how you can see things more clearly and do things more  36 when you are  37 . He and I fixed the window in three minutes! I called my husband in to see! He couldn't  38  it!

I know this isn't really a gift  39 , in a way, it was. My son  40  my husband, to leave to cool down, and  41  him from the worry for a moment. And my son fixing it with me was a  42  to me, because I saw him as a man  43  the kid he always seems to be in my  44 .

Calm is good. Breathe through difficult times and maybe even take a break from stressful times. Return with a clear mind and things will usually  45  much better!
