When my father died, one of the tasks that fell to me was to sort through and decide which objects to save and which to throw away. Now I look at the 51 of my life as if I were dead, 52 what my children will do with the human skull(骷髅) that 53 on the bookcase next to my desk. I couldn’t 54 them if they threw it out. They’ve been wanting to do that for some years, 55 will they know how much can be learned from 56 with a skull? And what about my books? 57 they can find some place in their 58 for ten thousand books. However, I know they will look at the white, plastic head of a horse on my desk and 59 it into a Glad trash bag without any 60 , never knowing that it is the only place 61 from the first chess set (棋子)I owned.
How many boxes of mine will my children 62 ? Can I trust my children with my 63 ? Every object of our lives is a 64 , and emotion swirls(旋动) around it like fog, hiding and 65 a tiny truth of the heart.
I look at these objects that are mine and know, too, that they are 66 of how alone I am, how alone each of us is, 67 no one knows what any object means except he or she who 68 it. I have the memory of taking it home 69 one of my newly-born children from the hospital; only I have the memory of what it looked like when I lived in that apartment and where it sat in that house. I look at the objects that are mine, and the memories are 70 and permeated（渗透着）with love. I look at the objects that are mine and know that I’m going to miss me very much.
