I looked closely at the face of my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be 16 to France. He would be staying there for at least a year to learn another language and experience another style of 17 in a different country far from the USA.

It was a(n)18 time in Daniel life, a step from college into the adult world. I wanted to 19 him some words that would have some meaning. But 20 came from my lips. I stood-frozen and quiet, looking into the searching eyes of my son.

What 21 it more difficult was that I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment 22. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. I felt the tension(紧张)in his hand 23 mine as the bus turned the corner. I saw his face turned red as the bus 24. 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 25 having the memory of that moment. Why is it so hard to tell a 26 something from his heart? My mouth turned 27, 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 28 I meant. Then he came toward me and threw his 29 around me. For a moment, the world and all the people 30, and there was just Daniel and me in our home by the sea.
