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 __1__ a different life.It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to __2__ him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips，and this was not the __3__ 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 __4__ the steps of the bus and disappeared inside.The bus drove away and I said nothing.A decade later，a similar __5__ played itself out.

I drove him to college.As I started to leave，I tried to think of something to say to give him __6__ and confidence as he started this new stage of life.Again，words __7__ me.

Now，as I stood before him，I thought of those __8__ opportunities.How many times have I let such moments __9__？I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what he has __10__ to me.Or what he might __11__ 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？__12__ as I stood before Daniel，I knew that it did matter.My father and I loved each other.Yet I always __13__ never hearing him put his __14__ into words.Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so __15__ 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 __16__，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 __17__ of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed __18__ mine.What I had said to Daniel was __19__.It was nothing.And yet，it was __20__.
