I had not seen my parents for a long time. Last Saturday I drove a long way to visit them, 36 neither of them was at home. So I waited patiently at their home 37 their return. Not seeing them made me really 38 .
As I was walking around their bedroom, I 39 little reminders of them. Some Christmas gifts were still 40 in boxes. There were 41 on the wall, which I guess must have a 42 meaning to them. What took my breath away was seeing my dad’s emblems（徽章）from his military service of our country 43 he was young. My father never 44 to us about the Korean Wars. As I looked at those emblems hanging 45 with all the photos that he treasures, I 46 that this was an important part of his life, but I never spent the 47 in talking with him about them. The photos of my mom with her close 48 made me realize her life before she was my mom. I had been so 49 running my business to raise my own family that I 50 the chance to know about their past and experience.
We sometimes don’t realize something is 51 for us until we have lost it, so it’s not too late for us to talk to our parents about their past. I am writing my story to 52 everyone who is fortunate to still have their parents 53 to invest some time to learn about them. I am grateful to have 54 of my parents. So I still have time to talk with them. I hope that readers will 55 from my story and find the time to talk about those things in their life that mean so much to their parents.
