n August 1992，a baby girl was born and her parents called her Paige. She was a beautiful child，with big brown eyes. On her first birthday，Paige climbed up on my lap and my heart was hers forever.
In March 1995，I received a frantic phone call from Paige’s mom，telling me that Paige was diagnosed with cancer and that they were on their way to Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles.
As the days went by，the news grew more and more grim. I called everyone I knew and asked them to start a prayer chain.
Paige battled that monster first with chemotherapy，then radiation，and finally a bone marrow transplant that took place in early October 1995. Through it all，this amazing three-year-old remained cheerful and gentle as ever. She won the hearts of doctors and nurses alike.
On October 31，1995，Paige came home for good. We had the miracle for which we all prayed. The doctors were amazed at her quick response to her treatments，but her positive attitude amazed them even more.
I had been collecting surprises for Paige over the months she was hospitalized，waiting for the day I could watch her open the bag full of gifts.
As she opened the magical bag of surprises，Paige discovered that several of the toys were ones she already had. I suggested to her mom that she could take them back and exchange them for something she didn’t have. I heard Paige’ soft little voice ask her mom if they could put these toys in the Christmas bin in front of one of the local stores so that other children could enjoy them. The pride on her mom’s face said it all.
At that moment，I realized the power that love has. Love cures people，both the giver and the receiver.
1992年8月，一个女婴出生了，她的父母给她取名为佩吉。她是一个漂亮的小孩，长着一双褐色的大眼睛。在佩吉一周岁的时候，有一次，她爬到我的膝头上来，从那时开始，我的心就永远地被她占据了。
1995年3月，我接到一个电话，电话那头是佩吉的母亲。她慌乱地告诉我，佩吉被诊断患了癌症，他们正带着她到洛杉矶的儿童医院去就诊。
随着日子一天天过去，消息也越来越残酷。我向认识的每个人呼吁，请他们为佩吉祈祷。
佩吉勇敢地与病魔作斗争。先是化疗，继之放疗，最后在1995年10月上旬进行了骨髓移植手术。令人吃惊的是，在病痛的折磨下，这个3岁的小女孩仍然像以前一样快乐、温柔。她赢得了所有医生和护士的心。
1995年10月31日，佩吉回家调养了。大家的祈祷创造了奇迹。经过治疗她的病情明显好转，这让医生们惊叹不已，但最令他们折服的还是她对待疾病的乐观无畏的态度。
佩吉住院的那几个月，我收集了很多令她惊喜的礼物，等待着有朝一日，能看到她亲手打开那个装着许多礼物的大包。
当佩吉打开那个神奇的礼物包的时候，她发现许多玩具她已经有了。我建议她的母亲把那些佩吉已经有的玩具拿去换一些她没有的玩具。我听到佩吉声音低柔地问她的母亲，是否可以把那些玩具拿去放在当地一家商店前的圣诞橱窗里，这样其他小朋友也能看到。佩吉的母亲露出了骄傲的微笑。
