 After my son, Scott, graduated from high school, he took a job in North Carolina.Two thousand miles suddenly separated me from the person who'd been the focus of my life for 18 years.As the days went by, I missed Scott more and more.I'd always been able to take care of myself, but now I seemed to need Scott's help constantly, like getting a tool from the top shelf, or moving something heavy.Most of all, I just missed having him to talk to.I was lonely.I knew this day would come.But why does it have to be so hard?
However, a mother spider taught me a lesson.
On my way out from my storeroom, I noticed a spider building her web across the top corner of the doorway.I reached for a hoe (锄头), tore down the web, and watched the giant spider run away in the grass.She was back the very next morning, in the exact same spot, busily rebuilding.I stared for a moment, and then reached for the hoe again.Then I twisted the hoe round and round, catching the spider in her own web.I carried her far into my backyard, shook the hoe and watched her fall to the ground and disappear in the bush.The third morning, I stopped short as I entered the storeroom.The spider was back in the same corner, her web almost completed again.I reached for the hoe, but stopped.I thought her persistence (坚持) in building her web should pay off.I stepped back and watched her long legs busily knitting the web.
For the next few weeks, the spider and I were close neighbors.One particularly boring day, I was feeling so down that I didn't even glance up at my spider as I entered.Suddenly I found a hundred tiny creatures on the floor.I realized that these were baby spiders and the web the mother had built was to protect her young.
Paragraph 1:
As the mother watched from the corner of the web, her young were making their way to the ground safely.                                                                    
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
Paragraph 2:
I decided that I would leave this web as a reminder.
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
As the mother watched from the corner of the web, her young were making their way to the ground safely. It only took moments before all the creatures were gone.My spider stayed alone again in the web she'd built.But crazy as it may sound, when I looked at that spider, I'd swear she seemed proud.The very next morning, when I went into the storeroom, she was gone.I knew that the spider had gone on to build different webs, just like this one, elsewhere.She had fulfilled this role, part of which was to let go with grace and self­respect.
Paragraph 2:
I decided that I would leave this web as a reminder.Like my spider, part of my job as a parent, maybe the hardest part, was to let my son walk away.But I knew that I had built him a strong web to grow in, and that if I had the strength and the courage to watch him fall, his feet would land safely on the ground.So it's time for me to learn to let him go and adapt bravely to the new life.
