總有一些回憶，你無法捨棄

I cleaned out Dad』s closet yesterday. 我昨天清理了爸爸的衣櫥。

There were two things I couldn』t box up: his work shirts and his two pairs of Red Wing boots.有兩樣東西我沒有辦法打包：他的工作T-恤和兩雙紅翼牌的靴子。

He couldn』t remember birthdays or anniversaries, but he remembered the date on which he』d bought his first pair. 他不記得第一雙靴子是在生日還是紀念日的時候買的，但是卻記得買鞋的具體日期。

I remember it too—April 16, the day after Tax Day.我也記得是4月16日，繳稅日的後一天。

What does a child do with her dad』s favorite boots? 一個孩子要怎麼處理爸爸最喜歡的靴子呢？

I think I will make a planter out of them or use them to store something valuable. 我想用它們做一個培植器皿或者藏些值錢的玩意。

You can』t throw away a man』s favorite boots. 你不能把一個男人最喜歡的靴子扔了。

You』ve got to keep them and pass them down.你要留著它們然後傳下去。
