Earlier that morning I accepted a job transfer(调动) from our small town in pennsylvania to Orlando, Florida. My husband，Frank，and I felt it was the right decision. Our children have grown up and moved away from home，so we were ready for a change. But now I wasnt so sure. We would leave our friends，our church and our whole lives. Frank would be unemployed until he found a job there. We had to sell our house and find a new one! What had we got ourselves into? Then I fell asleep. In my dream，a name flashed before my eyes like a colourful light sign: Mary Clauser. I woke up suddenly. Mary and her husband, Lee，were our friends，who lived in an apartment in a neighbouring town. They visited us once years before. Still, I couldnt ignore what Id seen. I called her. “Hi，Mary! I want to let you know that were moving to Florida，” I said. Mary asked, “Does that mean youre selling your house？” “Yes.” “Great! Can I stop by tonight？” she asked. “Of course，” I said. Mary arrived that night and I showed her around. “Our home was originally built for a wounded soldier，” I told her. “It has wide doors and even a heated garage.” “I remember.” Mary said. Then she explained that Lee had become ill. He could no longer climb the stairs to their apartment and they needed a new place to live as soon as possible. Mary said, “I never told you that Lee grew up in this neighbourhood. His parents live less than a mile away，so theyd be able to help him when I am not in.” We had our buyer.
