And then I lay downhoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand newsun.

[p=25, 2, left] And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, andsometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multipliesitself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle.

Then the dreams begin and keep me company until mynew day arrives.[/p][p=25, 2, left] 也有些时候，我的喉咙像是被一块东西哽住了，胸口发闷;有时那种伤感席卷而来，我开始流泪，眼泪常常越流越多，我再也无力抵抗悲伤，败下阵来。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悦或悲伤中飘荡，逐渐入眠。然后梦境开始伴我左右，直至新的一天到来。[/p]
[p=25, 2, left] When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every otherday has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life.
