18．"I am going home to Denmark，Son，and I just want to tell you I love you．"
In my dad's last telephone call to me，he （21）Bthat line several times in half an hour．I wasn't listening at the right level．I heard the words，but not the message，and（22）Cnot their deeper meaning．I believed my dad would live to be 100years old，（23）Cmy great uncle lived to be 107years old．I hadn't felt his（24）Aover Mum's death，understood his loneliness or（25）Dmost of his friends had left the world．He often asked my brother and me to create grandchildren（26）Bhe could be a devoted grandfather．I was too busy with my business to really listen．
"Dad's dead，"sighed my brother not long after dad went back to Denmark．
I was（27）Aand just cried for the loss of my dad．This isn't the （28）Dit's supposed to happen．If I had known these were to be dad's final days，I would have asked to go with him to Denmark．If I had been really listening and thinking，I would have offered comfort during his final hours．After all，a loved one should hold his hand and（29）Ahim as he makes the transition（过渡） from reality to another world．Dad （30）C his departure（离开） repeatedly，but I（31）Bit．I felt sadness，pain and regret．Why had I not been there for him？He'd always been there for me．In the mornings when I was nine years old，he（32）Acome home from working 18hours and （33）Dme up by patting my back lightly with his strong powerful hands and whispering，"Time to get up，Son．"（34）DI was dressed and ready to go，he had put my schoolbag in my bicycle basket．Recalling these（35）Bmoments with dad brings tears to my eyes．
Now my heart is still in（36）Dbecause dad was there for me and I wasn't there for him．My hearty（37）Ais：always，always seize the moment to（38）C your love with your loved ones，and keep them（39）Bwhen they leave the world．Experiencing the（40）Bof death with one you love will make you understand the meaning of life better．
