At the airport, I looked closely at the face of my son, Daniel, his backpack by his side. We were saying good-bye. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 41 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡期的)time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to leave him some words of 42 . But nothing came from my 43 and this was not the first time I had let such a moment 44 .
When Daniel was five, I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He looked at me -- as he did now. “What is it going to be like, Dad? Will I be okay? ” And then he walked up the 45 of the bus and disappeared inside. And the bus 46 . And I had said nothing.
A decade or so later, a similar 47 appeared. I drove him to college. I tried to think of something to say to give him 48 and confidence as he started this new life. Again, words 49 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 50 opportunities. How many times have we all let such moments pass?
My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 51 never hearing him put his 52 into words and never having the memory of that moment. Now, I could feel my hands sweat and my throat 53 . Why is it so 54 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to speak out only a few words 55 . “Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That’s all I could say. I wasn’t sure he understood what I 56 . Then he came toward me and threw his arms around me. For a moment, the world and all its people faded away, and there was just Daniel and me. He was saying something, 57 my tears rolled down, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was 58 of was the stubble(胡茬)on his chin as his face pressed 59 mine. And then, the moment ended. What I had said to Daniel was clumsy. It was nothing. And yet, it was 60 .
