Standing in the driveway, I watched my grown children drive off into the distance. I looked down the road until I could no longer see their  36    .

“They live too far away from me,” I said to myself. “When did they   37     and become parents of small children?  38     that be me?”

I slipped back inside the house and just walked through the rooms for no reason   39    . I was just missing them already and looking for   40     of their having been here. There were pillows on the floor and a few stuffed (填充）animals   41     around where the children had been playing.

I walked into the  42     and there on the back of the sink was a bottle brush that had been left behind. “Ah, even Tessa left something behind,” I   43    . Well, I suppose she had help   44    she was just four months old.

As I walked around the house, I picked up a few more   45     on the floor — Tegan’s tooth, a pie pan, and the inside of a turkey fryer.

The memories of past hurts, bitterness, and anger,  52    , should be left behind   53    . These are the things that we should never   54     until the next time they come, mail back, or bring with us to   55    next visit.
