I was standing by his rosebush when an uncle came to tell me that my grandfather had died. Remembering Grandpa's words, I reached deep within me for those special feelings that had made up our friendship. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had meant about never saying goodbye—about refusing to give in to the sadness.

【翻译】我正站在他的玫瑰花丛旁，这时一位叔叔来告诉我，我祖父去世了。想起爷爷的话，我深深地感受到了构成我们友谊的那些特殊感情。突然间，而且真的，我明白了他所说的永远不要说再见的意思---拒绝屈服于悲伤。

1. reach deep within me：到达我的心里深处；深深感受到了。理解为“回忆”可以。

2. meant 的宾语是前面的what，翻译成：意味着什么；意思是什么。后面的about 是“关于；有关”。看翻译仔细体会即可。
