But Kathy’s words about her terrible loss had 53 him so deeply that he 54 that everyone put on their shoulder and lap belts before he would leave. That is 55 had saved their lives.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __1__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __2__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __3__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __4__ with his homework or he was trying to __5__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __6__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __7__.”

The next day I called his teacher to __8__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __9__.

“Basically, most of the fathers had the __10__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __11__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __12__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __13__. It’s something all human beings __14__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __15__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __16__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __17__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __18__ second. And just __19__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __20__.

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought   11  . My complaints, even self-justified（自有道理）  12  , were always landing on   13   ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end up with their   14   into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to   15   my method of “mothering”.

One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain  16  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was   17   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”  18   arriving back, the children were   19   excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy   20   

for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   21   asking them to play a certain violin  22  . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   23  ．

         Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   24  : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   25   of well-done jobs the day   26  .

  27   I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its （贴条）. The bathroom mirror became the   28   centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be   29  .

We all benefited from and  30   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication．
