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 picked up my dog and sat Indian style with him in my lap on the 41 , wooden floor. I had no 42 but to sit on the floor, for there was no longer any furniture in my house. I sat there in a daze (恍惚), just 43 . There was no reason for my parents to make me, a once 44 12-year-old kid, 45. I had two best friends right across the street; I did well in school and I always kept my room clean. 46 , this was “my house”. By no means did I want a couple of 47 living here. These recurring (重复) thoughts 48 around in my mind and I couldn’t find an answer.
Out of the front window I could see the orange top of a truck pulling in along the cleaned driveway and I knew it was the other U-Haul. At once their men came 49 in through the back door like World War Ⅲ was starting.
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.
