Larry saw her going into the sunset. ―Who was he, mommy?‖Nicole couldn’t catch any idea out of it. ―He was a nobody, my dear.‖ Tanya kept driving into the sunset. 注釋 : romance sunrise microscopic detail→★ tailor polish snack magic→★ magic magician pause slight insert condemn mit→★ mittee orbit wrinkle mirror sunset vicious→★ vice butterfly yell uneasy absence→★ absent/present towel eldest overnight register protest milk→★ milk scream swallow cease laundry single→★ single uncertain→★ certainly postman→★ post vanish uncertainty→★ certainly consent childhood→★ child cheerful postgraduate mystery enclose handwriting spark→★ spark memory→★ memory overwhelm scrape blaze palm destiny promise shelter whisper pillow fragr。 every ray the sun ever endowed on her love. She could feel a powerful freedom that was removing those tedious thoughts from her mind and thrusting life into her veins. Life was wearing hope now. The time from Sunday morning to evening was hard to spend. Time clock was snailing Out of the day and the sun got hung up in mid air. Wind stopped on the surface of water and the shadows declined to shrink. She wished time was a horse with a tail on the forehead and she would pull it from its tail. She wished time was a dry leaf and she would blow it in the windstorm(風(fēng)暴 )of her heart. She wished time was a boat and she would sail it in the river of her eyes. But today, time had turn into a teaser(戲弄者 ).She wanted the time to fly and it was crawling. She tried to make her self busy in house chores but her eyes quit supporting her hands as they were still looking at the sun. And the sun also kept glaring at her all the day. Finally the sun lost the battle and started going down. From the rim of the roof, it skidded to the window. No one in the family felt any change in her. Mike had to go to meet a client and was quite busy looking at himself and the kids were too involved in watching the TV. It was an hour to sunset and she was ready, wearing her best dress and wrapped in her favorite fragrance. She looked several years younger and brought back a charming(迷人的 )smile onto her lips. ―Where are you going, dear?‖ Her preparation couldn39。t seen a sunrise. Life is spending me and I am aging. Days keep climbing the mountain of years. Moon disguises its face in the clouds and the night refuses to bring sleep onto my pillow. I fight your memories and defeat myself. The painwaves of your absence storm through my stale heart and leave it in a misery. My face has lived with me for ten cold winters, now l want to feel the warmth of your face. Bring the sunshine of your eyes to me. Meet me while the sun sets this Sunday at the river bridge. My eyes will be measuring the passage until you e. Larry The letter ended and left her standing at the door of her timefaded memories. Larry was her classmate in college days. He lived in her heart and she dreamed his eyes. They had planned to get married after graduation as soon as Larry found a good job. It took him a year to find one and this expansion of time let Mike surface. Mike was an elegant and handsome man with already a good job. Larry got a firstrate job the day Tanya got married. In the next six months, Larry left the country and Tanya moved to Wisconsin(威斯康星州 ). Mike’s love scattered into his job, kids and Tanya. She did the same to him, except for the job. Her concern was to take care of the kids and the home. ―Easier said than done‖, she liked this phrase ever since. Her housework imprisoned(關(guān)押 )her wishes and she couldn’t even wish for her freedom. And today, after more than ten years, a letter came into her life like a butterfly carrying on its wings, words written in rainbow colors. It was Wednesday and she wished to jump over those three days into the Sunday sunset. She never got to know when the kids came back from the school and how she spent the rest of the day. The days had started flying with her. In the night she would read that letter to the moon, the stars and the breeze. She would tell them stories of her low。 not until you have signed and received your letter. ‖ ―My letter! Who could send that?‖ ―I am not sure. It’s someone named . Sounds like a postgraduate degree to me. ‖ ―Never mind, I’11 sign it.‖ Tanya received the letter. It was a registered letter from within the town. She wondered who could that . be. She opened the envelope and the mystery that was enclosed in it. The handwriting sparked a memory but she felt too overwhelmed to scrape her past. Her heartbeat(G跳 )started flying like butterfly wings. It wasn’t just a letter with ordinary words written on a piece of paper. She could feel those words blazing over her heart. They were telling her stories of her long lost love. My flowered wish Tanya! I once saw my home in the streets of your palm, my destiny in the smiles of your promises, and my shelter in the shadows of your eyes. I treasured all your whispers under my pillow, your fragrance in my breaths, and your name in my ears. Your face still lightens(使發(fā)亮 )up the sky in the night, your voice still rhymes them rain fall, and your hair still soften the wind. The sun always rose from the sparkle of your eyes. And then, time flew you away into someone else39。沒(méi)有停頓,沒(méi)有休息,沒(méi)有絲毫改變。t alive for this photo, he died in 1986. Lastly in the picture is my brother John, wearing a
