The other day my daughter finally had a day off work. We decided to go out in the 16 for the time, together! It was an enjoyable experience. Then a surprising thing happened. She turned and asked, “Hey, Dad, can I 17 the boat?” I had a look of fear in my eyes 18 the boat can be driven at a very high speed and can be turned over very quickly. However, I gave the driving seat to her and began 19 her how to properly control the boat. I told her to remain calm as I had completely believed in her.
It can be both frightening and exciting when your child tries doing something, even if it’s a small thing, you still feel like they are growing up too fast and it’s out of your 20 . Time goes by so quickly, so it’s 21 to spend time with your kids, with your family. It is an amazing feeling to experience as their confidence grows.
In every situation if you relax, take your time, and show confidence, you will have a great 22 . We not only had a 23 morning on the boat, but also invited our little neighbour who is 8 years old and put him in the 24 right between us. As I drove at top speed, making sudden turns and jumping over the waves, all I could hear was my neighbour 25 and screaming at the top of his voice because he was having such a great time.

One night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, no answer.
So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of (一摞)cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back “For what?” it returned to me with “Loving me” on it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
