When with close friends, she bees a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that fort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she pleted her first kids triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm ing soon and my sons birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment shed need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasnt because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadnt seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day.

As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today. My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping, A gun she cast a look toward the window. “e on, girls! Lets take string to the boys and watch them On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps its like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly. It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didnt mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.” The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.” “I cant go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when Im through Ill be too tired to walk that for.” My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“Its a wonderful day,” she offered，“Really warm , yet theres a fine breezy . Do you remember that day we flew kites?” I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “e on.” I told my little girl. “Youre right, its too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. Allevening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of what dark and horrible things? “Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember - no, of course you wouldnt. It probably didnt make the impression on you as it did on me.” I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?” “I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things werent too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”( ) 1.

At first, she said Chicago. That was where the Lincolns were going to live after they left the White House.Then she said the Capitol building in Washington. A tomb had been built there for Americas first President, George Washington. But it had never been used.Finally, she remembered a country cemetery they had visited.At the time, her husband had said，“When I am gone, lay my remains in some quiet place like this.” So Mrs. Lincoln decided that the presidents final resting place would be in the quiet, beautiful Oak Ridge Cemetery outside their home town of Springfield, Illinois.For several days after Lincolns assassination, his body lay in the East Room of the White House. The room was open to the public all day. Next, the body was taken to the Capitol building. Again, the public could e to say goodbye.
