I had said goodbye to my husband, Joe, so often, but this time was .
We now had our first child. After nights of talks, we made the difficult that Joe would go by himself to Alabama for the six-month training course, and I would stay behind with our new son. It was important that I my teaching position（职位）near our home at Fort Hood. Also we were part of a strong network of friends whom I could turn to for help.
On Joe's evening at home, I bathed little Joey, got him into his sleeper and was heading to the bedroom when Joe gently touched on the shoulder. Lifting the baby from my arms, he said he wanted to put Joey to bed tonight.
They headed down the hall, and I busied myself with meaningless tasks, Joe to appear from the bedroom within a few minutes. A half hour went by, and still he had not come back. Thinking he was having getting our son to fall asleep, I walked quietly to the baby's room and looked into the dimly-lit（灯光暗淡的）room.
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.
Joey is six now, and he has a four-year-old brother named Jack. There have been many goodbyes since that night, yet my soldier still fights back tears when it's time to once again in service to his country and give his boys that last, long hug（拥抱）goodbye.

One day, together with Leela, Jenny went to an orphanage(孤儿院). All the children there were very young. At first, Jenny was not sure if she could have a way to communicate with them. She went over to the children and sat beside them. After some time, one of the children her. She felt a little relaxed and smiled back. Then she went close to the child. She slowly put her arm around the child and started a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang, but the rhythm(节奏) was the same. Jenny sang a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the , another child went up to Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They many smiles together.
From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela’s on her, Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See, I don’t have any language barriers here. We speak and communicate!” At that moment, she understood: we’re all simple human, and we have the ability to connect with each other.

The most positive person I have ever seen is my dad! He is so positive that I do nothearing a single word from him which is related to hopelessness!
Unlike most mums and dad, my dad never says things that make me feel. He is always there to give me encouragements and help.I do wrong things, he always tells me what’s right in a positive way. For example, if I am in, he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the stories that can help me with the problems I’m facing. After that, we have atogether.
Even though I’m not always a good kid, my dadshouts or gets angry with me. I know that he’sa day——a day when I grow up and understand things in my life.
I can see the reason that he is so positive is because he believes in himself. And he believes that whatever, it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!A. mind B. keep C.. remember
