英文小作文：

The passing of time brings with it many changes, including the loss of loved ones and cherished memories. When someone we care about passes away, it can be a heartbreaking experience, leaving a void that cannot be filled easily. However, we must remember to mourn their passing and celebrate their life, while also moving forward and embracing the future.

In my mind"s eye, I can still see my grandfather sitting in his rocking chair on the front porch, smoking his pipe and telling me stories about his childhood. He was a man of few words, but his wisdom and kindness left a lasting impression on me. Although he has passed away, I still feel his presence in my heart, and I will always remember the wonderful times we shared together.

We must accept the fact that we will all one day pass away, but it does not mean that our lives are meaningless. On the contrary, our legacy lives on in the memories and experiences we leave behind, and in the lives of those who are left behind to carry on our legacy. So, let us cherish every moment of our lives and make sure that our legacy leaves a positive impact on those around us.
