Sitting in the rocking chair, moving slowly back and forth, was my husband with tears（眼泪）in his eyes. He was holding our baby in his arms he had fallen asleep long before. When his pained eyes met mine, he said, "I just can't put him down."
That night we stood over Joey's bed, holding each other and saying over and over that we would make it through this leaving and be again soon.
