  While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me.

  Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags.He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

  First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you.I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing.They stared at each other’s eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands.For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇), but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.

  Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face.“Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked.“Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished.By the intensity(热烈)of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks-if not months.I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”

  The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked me straight in the eye.With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person.“Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”

  With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.

  I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”

  My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to male it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

  Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my beart.One it aways times out.“Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask.“Is this what you were talking about, Dad?Should I keep going?”

  A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately, thongn.I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else.It's time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail.They're only afraid of failing us.They don't worry about being disappointed.Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment.

  Give your chikdren permission to succeed.They're witing for you to believe in them.I always knew way parents loved me.But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts;“Don't worry; you'll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
