When Frank began his story, we all listened. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.” He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was robust from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled the ocean.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, ‘ Dad, I’m too old for a good-bye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.’ My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked our the windshield. ‘ You‘re right,’ he said. ‘ You are a big boy… a man. I won’t kiss you anymore..’”
For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. “It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “ Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek… to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss.”

Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated (分居), would arrive for a meeting on his failing schoolwork and  【小题1】  behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called up   【小题2】 . 
Tommy, an only child, had   【小题3】 been happy, cooperative, and an excellent student. How could I make his father and mother  【小题4】  that his recent failing grades   【小题5】  a brokenhearted child’s reaction to his respected parents’ separation and possible   【小题6】 ?
Tommy’s mother came in and   【小题7】 one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Then the father   【小题8】  and was surprised to see his wife. They pointedly ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed   【小题9】 of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the   【小题10】  words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son.   【小题11】  somehow the words wouldn’t come.
I found a crumpled (弄皱的), tear-stained  【小题12】  in the back of Tommy’s desk. Writing covered both sides, a single  【小题13】  scribbled (乱写) over and over.
Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then without a word   【小题14】 it to her husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the scribbled words for  【小题15】  seemed a future life.
