遗留在时光背后思念.pptVIP

;;;I smiled at the little?fingerprints?on my mirror. I didn’t wipe them off. I thought back to the time when I tried so hard to keep the fingerprints off the mirrors and doors when my children were small. Now, I wanted the tiny fingerprints to stay so that I could see them there just a little longer. 我对着镜子上的小指印微笑，没去擦。回想起当我的孩子还小时，我竭力不让镜子和房门沾上指印。现在，我希望这些小指印都留在上面，好让我看久一点。;;;It seems like every time our family gets together something is left behind. When I call my children to tell them what they have left behind I am usually told, “Oh, just bring it when you come,” “Keep it for me until I come back the next time,” or “Hey, I really need that, would you mind mailing it to me?” 似乎每次我们家庭聚会，他们总会落下一些东西。每次我打电话告诉我的孩子他们都落下些什么的时候，他们通常会跟我说，“噢，下次你来时给我们带上吧。”或者“帮我留着，下次我回去再取。”又或者“嗨，我急着用，能帮我邮寄过来吗？”;“Oh look!

It gave me something to do, after they left, to take my mind off of missing them. 我还真的挺乐在其中的。这使我在他们走后有事可做，从而暂时摆脱对他们的思念。 Then my eyes teared up as I noticed the baby outfit beside the sink where it had been left to dry after spots had been scrubbed out of it. The little?outfit, now stain free, reminded me of the trip to the emergency room with Rowan due to a?gash?on her head that was cau
