英语翻译
when you left us,it took a little while for it to sink in that I would never see you again.I guess it was a bit like you being away on a trip or those times when we didn't find the time to even speak on the phone for a week or so.I realize now there are too many things left unsaid as everyone always says and too many questions unasked.Silly thing really,like yesterday,when I was doing my washing,I wondered how you left when you got your first automatic washing machine.I can still remember the old machine you had when I was a child.Thought,I guess I know the answers to most of the important thing about you.
