  He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention.“Is your cab available(可用的)?” I asked when he finally looked up at me.He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold.“I am not in a hurry,” I told him.“Go ahead and finish your letter.” He shook his head.“I've read it several times already.I guess I almost know it by heart.”“Letters from home always mean a lot” I said.

  “This isn't family,” he replied.“Although it might just as well have been family.Old Ed was my oldest friend.In fact, we used to call each other ‘Old Friend'-when we'd meet.I'm not much good at writing.”

  “I don't think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said.“I know I don't, but I take it he's someone you've known quite a while?” “All my life.We were kids together, went to school together and all the way through high school.” “There are not too many people who've had such a long friendship,” I said.“Actually,” the driver went on, “I hadn't seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget.”

  “You said ‘was'.Does that mean…?” he nodded.“A couple of weeks ago.” “I'm sorry,” He didn't say anything more, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes.But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me:“I should have kept in touch with him.” “Well,” I agreed, “we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do.But things come up and we just don't seem to find the time.”

  When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away.First I had to write a letter…and mail it.

I start to wonder what else had changed since I’d been gone. My parents are in an awkward transition, wondering how to treat me now. They wrestle with whether to treat me—still their daughter—as one of them, an adult, or as the child they feel they sent away months earlier.

I run into two of my best friends from high school; we stare at each other, expressionless.We ask the simple questions and give simple answers. It’s as if we have nothing to say to each other. I wonder how things have changed so much in such a small amount of time. We used to laugh and promise that no matter how far away we were, our love for each other would never change. Their interests don’t interest me anymore, and I find myself unable to relate my life to theirs.

I had been so excited to come home, but now I just look at it all and wonder: Is it me?

Why hadn’t the world stood still here while I was gone?  My room isn’t the same, my friends and I don’t share the same bond, and my parents don’t know how to treat me—or who I am, for that matter.

I get back to school feeling half-fulfilled, but not disappointed. I sit up in my bed in my dorm room, surrounded by my pictures, dolls. As I wonder what has happened, I realize that I can’t expect the world to stand still and move forward at the same time. I can’t change and expect that things at home will stay the same. I have to find comfort in what has changed and what is new; keep the memories, but live in the present.

A few weeks later, I’m packing again, this time for winter break. My mom meets me at the curb. I have come home accepting the changes, not only in my surroundings, but most of all in me.
