Family love usually goes unnoticed until we've really grown up, but as shown in the text,
it is the most valuable treasure left behind. Fond memories of family gatherings sprang up as the
author saw 1 __________ left behind here and there. Pillows 2 __________ on the floor, things
mysteriously taking up 3 __________ in the toy box, 4 __________ animals around the couch, and
a baby outfit free of 5 __________ all reminded her of the unforgettable happy times she enjoyed
with her children and grandchildren. Sometimes, some 6 __________ moments in life become
merry and joyful memories when we look back on them. But other memories, memories of past
hurts, 7 __________ , bitterness, and anger should be left behind forever, never kept until the next
time, never mailed back, never brought with us to the next visit. Every time when she saw her
children go off into the 8 __________ after the family get-togethers, she 9 __________ back to the
house, 10 __________ the happy memories of love left behind. And at such moments she felt the
restlessness ever stronger of having her heart go outside her body walking with her children — a
feeling that only someone who has been a parent can fully understand.
