I looked carefully at the face of my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be 41 to France. He would be staying there for at least a year to learn another language and experience another style of 42 in a different country far from the USA.
It was a(n) 43 time in Daniel life, a step from college into the adult world. I wanted to 44 him some meaningful words. But 45 came from my lips(嘴边). I stood quietly, looking into the searching eyes of my son.
It was 46 to say something to my son. I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment 47 . When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. I felt he was very 48 as the bus turned the corner. I saw his face turned red as the bus 49 . He looked at me-as he did now.
My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always regretted(后悔)never hearing him put his feelings into words and 50 having the memory of that moment. Why is it so hard to tell a 51 something from his heart? My mouth turned 52 , 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.”
I wasn’t sure whether he understood 53 I meant. Then he came toward me and threw his 54 around me. For a moment, the world and all the people 55 , and there was just Daniel and me in our home by the sea.
