It was December 22. The bitter wind swept the countless snowflakes(雪花) across my front yard. My dad was there sweeping the 36 . His nose was red as a cherry. With every breath he took, a white puff escaped 37 the air.
Inside, my mother was _38_the last of the boxes. 39 I entered the front door, the thought that after today I wouldn’t enter through that 40 ever again burned a hole in my stomach.

I watched 50 as the men, my mother and my dad loaded the truck. My dog even winced (畏缩) as he stared out of the window. I wondered if he was 51 , too, or if he just wished to play outside in the snow.
My mum came in, looking solemn (凝重). She turned 52 the overhead light, put the 53 in my arms and took me out of the back door. A totally 54 feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life, I wondered what 55 would be like to me tomorrow.
