In the doorway of my home,I looked closely at my 23­year­old son,Daniel.In a few hours he would be flying to France to__1__a different life.It was a transitional(过渡的)time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to__2__him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips,and this was not the__3__time I had let such moments pass.
\x05When Daniel was five,I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.He asked,“What is it going to be like,Dad?Can I do it?”Then he walked__4__the steps of the bus and disappeared inside.The bus drove away and I said nothing.A decade later,a similar__5__played itself out.I drove him to college.As I started to leave,I tried to think of something to say to give him__6__and confidence as he started this new stage of life.Again,words__7__me.
\x05Now,as I stood before him,I thought of those__8__opportunities.How many times have I let such moments__9__?I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what he has__10__to me.Or what he might__11__to face in the years ahead.Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
\x05What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?__12__as I stood before Daniel,I knew that it did matter.My father and I loved each other.Yet I always__13__never hearing him put his__14__into words.Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so__15__to tell a son something from the heart?
\x05My mouth turned dry,and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.“Daniel,” I said,“if I could have picked,I would have picked you.” That’ s all I could say.He hugged me.For a moment,the world__16__,and there were just Daniel and me.He was saying something,but tears misted my eyes,and I couldn’ t understand what he was saying.All I was__17__of was the stubble(短须 )on his chin as his face pressed__18__mine.What I had said to Daniel was__19__.It was nothing.And yet,it was__20__.
