6、I stood by and watched her and her mother busily decorating her college dorm (宿舍). Everything was in place ,  1  boxes under the bed and photos of her dearest friends on the wall . I closely monitored that this time things were  2  . I began to accept that her room at home is no longer  3  , It is now ours , our room for her when she visits .

       I 4   myself thinking of when I held her in my arms sitting in a chair by my wife’s hospital __5_ . One day old . So small , so beautiful , so perfect , so totally reliant on her new , untested parents . My wife changed from the day I drove this little baby home from the  6 . I saw myself differently that day,  7   

       The last few days  8  she left for college , I touched her arm , her face — anything —  9 that when my wife and I returned home , she would not be with us and there would be  10 to touch . I had so much to say , but no words with which to say it .

       Suddenly she looked up ,  11   me staring at her , which caused her to say to her mother , “ Mom , Dad’s looking at me funny .” She then said , “ It’ll be  12   , Dad . I’ll be home from school soon . ” I told her she would her have a  13 year . But I said little else . I was  14 that I would say something too small for what I was feeling , 15   I only held on to our good-bye hug a little longer , a  little  16   .

       My wife’s eyes followed her as she left us . Mine she left us Mine did not . I  17  she hadn’t gone . I knew that the life she was going  18  was exciting and wonderful . I remembered what the world looked like to me when everything was  19 .

       On the way back home , my eyes were wet , my heart sore , and I realized that my  20  was changed forever .
