　　A

　　Would you be able to let someone go that you really loved? If you're like most people, that would be pretty hard. In T．A. Barren's Where is Grandpa？，the main character, a little boy, was faced with the same problem.

　　In the beginning of the story, Grandpa was cool and fun to be around. The little boy loved to be with his grandpa. In fact, they were always going on new and fun adventures (冒险经历). The boy and his grandpa were like best friends. The boy was so lucky to have such a great grandpa.

　　Later in the story, Grandpa died. The little boy was sad, because he knew that Grandpa was not there beside him. Things were hard for him, because before, his grandpa was always by his side. Now, he was not there anymore. He was gone. The boy must have felt so devastated!

　　At the end, the boy asked his parents，"Where is Grandpa？" They told him that he was in all of their memories. At that point, the boy changed. Finally, he realized that he still had the memories that he shared with his grandpa; he knew that his grandpa was still with him. He realized just how important memories can be.

　　This story teaches me that some things in life are hard. When someone dies, T．A. Barren, in his wonderful story Where is Grandpa？， teaches me it is okay because they're still with you in your memories. When I lose someone I care about, I know I can always find them by thinking about the special moments we've shared.
