All my life I had loved airports.To me,they were fl kind of magic gateway to the world,but today it seemed like a cold and heartless place.
“Well,here we are,the airport,"my sister said with fl sigh.As 1 watched her unload my luggage,I could see the sadness in her eyes.One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new lire abroad,leaving my beloved sister behind.
I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears,she was trying to keep a brave face.“You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,”she said.
“I am just going to walk away and not look back,” I said. As I held her one last time she whispered,“Don’t worry about me,I’ll be fine."“I’ll miss you,” I replied with tears in my eyes.As I promised,I did not look back。but 1 was sobbing.To me it was the end of the world.

As I was 10 the gas in, she said, “I thought no one would even stop. I was afraid to leave the car and even more afraid to 11 help.”
“Well, I couldn’t pass by 12 offering help,” I said. “I’ve used up gas myself a few times.
You know I’m getting 13 . Now I’m running out of gas and time. It just seems to fl by.”
