Recently
I gave my adult students homework.It was to "go to
someone you love and tell them you love them.It
has to be someone you have 25 said those words
to before or at least haven't 26 those words
with for a long time."
Since
most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the
27 of men that were taught 28 feelings
is not "manly", this was very 29 homework
for some.
In
our next 30 , I asked if someone wanted to share
his story with us.I fully 31 one
of the women to volunteer, as was 32 the case,
but on this evening one of the men raised his hand.As
he 33 out of his chair (all
1.85 metres of him), he
began by saying, "Dennis, I was quite 34 with
you last week when you gave us this homework.
35 were
you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my
heart started talking to me, telling me that I knew
36 who I needed to say 'I love you' to."
"My
father and I had a severe 37 five years ago, and
since then we had 38 seeing each other unless we had to at
Christmas.But even then, we hardly 39
to each other.So last Tuesday I drove to my
parents' house after work and said, "Dad, I just 40
to tell you that I love you. '"
"Dad
reached out and 41 me and said, 'I
love you too, son, but I've never been able to say it.'
Two days after my visit, my dad had a heart attack and I don't know if he will
42 it.So, I'm here to tell
all of you that my 43 in this is: Don't
wait to do the things 44 it is
too late.Take the time to do what you need
to do and do it now!"
