In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to    36   a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的)time in Daniel's life. I wanted to    37    him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38    time I had let such moments pass.
When 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   39   the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40     played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him    41   and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words    42       me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those    43   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments    44    ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have     45  to me. Or what he might   46  to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?    47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always     48    never hearing him put his   49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50   to tell a son something from the heart?
My 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    51   , 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    52    of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was    54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was   55   .

On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay  79  in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While  80  with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily  81  . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She       82  them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a  83   , and you never saw the       84   in her eyes.”

She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 89  .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
