My grandma and grandpa, who purchased The Hill Farm, in 1964, loved The Hill Farm and spent weekends and holidays there. They took in the natural beauty of their farm and the Hudson Valley. They sometimes read and wrote there. The Hill Farm was where we enjoyed meals. I remember our playing hide and seek, and picnicking on the stone tables. Memories were made both inside and outside of my grandma and grandpa’s country home.

　　In a few weeks The Hill Farm will belong to another family. Getting every last item out of The Hill Farm will be difficult. When I was packing up boxes or other belongings, my stomach clenched(紧缩) at the thought that this rare and beautiful home would no longer be our family’s. But it is time to let go. As author Juan Nakamori wrote, “If you have been grasping onto something, try to let it go. Your empty hands will be ready to receive a new gift.” I am not sure what this new gift will be. Perhaps the pleasure includes seeing more lights in the windows, activities on the farm, and even getting to know the new family.

　　Anyway, I will hold on to the memories made at The Hill Farm and will continue to share them with my children. I will keep the images and feelings that I experienced there. And now I will let go of The Hill Farm. May it be filled with love again, and with new gifts to be shared by the family who will call it home.
