I 23 myself thinking of when I held her in the cradle of my arm,in the chair alongside my wife's hospital bed.One day old.So 24 ,so beautiful,so perfect,so 25 dependent on her new,26 parents. Time marches relentlessly(不停地).
She looks up now,catching me 27 at her, causing her to say to her mother." Mom, Dad’s looking at me 28 .”YCY
The last few days,I touch her arm,her face一anything— 29 that when my wife and I return home,she will not be with and there will be nothing to30 .I have so much to say, but no31 with which to say it
My32 changed from the day I drove this child home from the hospital. I saw myself33 that day, and it has led to a lot of places that I would never have found on my own .
She says,“It'll be all right,Dad.I’ll be home from school 34 .”I tell her she will have a GREat year but I say little else.I am afraid somehow to speak and I only hold on to our good-bye hug a little longer, a little35 .
I gaze into her eyes and 36 to go. My wife’s eyes follow her as she leaves us.37 do not.Maybe if I don’t look,I can imagine that she really hasn’t38 ;I know that what she is embarking upon (开始)is exciting and wonderful.I remember what the world looked like to me39 everything was new.
As I walk to the car with my wife at my side,my eyes are wet,my heart is sore,and I realize that my life is 40 forever.
