📖 英文原文
One evening, I found an old photo album in the attic. As I turned the pages, memories came back like a forgotten song. My father had written notes on the back of some pictures, and one line caught my eye: 'To have loved is to have lived.' I sat down, thinking about the years we had spent together, and how much I had missed him. The weight of his absence was heavy, but so was the love he left behind. I realized that even though he was gone, his voice still echoed in my heart. Sometimes, it's not the big moments that shape us, but the small ones—like the name he never called me, or the way he used to smile at me when I was little. I decided to write a letter, not to him, but to myself, to remember who I was before the world changed me. In the end, it was not the words that mattered, but the feeling they brought back. To have been loved is to have been given a gift that lasts forever.

一天晚上，我在阁楼上发现了一本旧相册。当我翻阅这些照片时，记忆像一首被遗忘的歌曲一样涌现出来。我父亲在一些照片背面写了一些笔记，其中有一句话引起了我的注意：“爱过就是活过。”我坐下来，回想起我们共度的岁月，以及我有多么想念他。他的缺席让我感到沉重，但他的爱也留给我深深的痕迹。我意识到，尽管他已经离去，他的声音仍然在我心中回响。有时，真正塑造我们的不是那些大事件，而是那些小细节——比如他从未叫过我的名字，或者他小时候对我微笑的样子。我决定写一封信，不是给他，而是给我自己，以记住那个未被世界改变的我。最终，重要的不是文字本身，而是它们唤起的感觉。曾经被爱过，就是得到了一个永远延续的礼物。
