People say one man's trash(垃圾) is another man's treasure. That      comes to me as I     the house purchased in 1962 by my parents. My mother passed away in 1996. My father left the house     my sister and me when he died a few months ago.
After Dad was      , we looked around the      house where we grew up and that Dad loved so much. At first we felt so      all the stuff(东西) left. Like so many of their generation, my parents      everything. And like many in my generation, we faced anxious      about what to abandon and what to keep.
As we started throwing out old phone books and every medical bill from every      my parents ever saw, I also      many hidden treasures. Mom's pocketbook was in their bedroom closet, which had everything in it,      her hairbrush with hair, as if she were still here. And Dad, who was a World War II veteran(退伍兵) and a world traveler,       everything -- from little spoons from all over the world to every letter he wrote to his parents while in the      . The letters he wrote during the war      his thoughts as a young man. Later, in the basement, I      our old kitchen table, which brought back      of my parents and sister and me having breakfast together.
I'm realizing all these things      my parents' life journey. Each time I go to      , I find something that reminded me of my childhood or teaches me something about my parents I      knew.      , from the shabby furniture to all the hidden treasures, means more to me than all the money in the world.
