Our belongings were 37 up in boxes. Soon we would be saying goodbye to our home and the blue spruce we’d planted there. We drove 38 to our new home. The owners met us out front. The hostess took me for a 39 of the yard. They were moving, she told me, to be closer to their children. “How long have you lived here?” I asked. “Eighteen years,” she said. I gave her a sideways glance, and 40 in her eyes a faraway look. “Is it 41 for you to leave?” I asked. We had come to a pine tree towering 20 feet above us in the center of the yard. “Yes”, she said, brushing her hand across her eyes. Her voice died away. “I’m not the only one 42 through this, the only one who’s 43 ,” I thought. But that didn’t make leaving our home 44 any easier. 45 the kids coming for the holidays didn’t help. Listening to them talk about their lives at school and recall our house, I only felt more depressed. “Maybe this is what 46 is going to be like now,” I thought, “with the 47 memories already behind us.” The new year started. I still ached for my old life, 48 . I couldn’t get away from the 49 that hung over me and my husband could do nothing to 50 me up. One day I found myself staring at the tall pine. There was something so 51 , so assuring (令人放心) about it. Were the previous owners missing their pine tree 52 I missed our blue spruce? And maybe the people who had moved into our house were taking comfort in 53 just as I was taking 54 in that pine. It was time to be 55 like that tree, to reach out and embrace our new life. 36.
