In the doorway, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he’d be flying to France to   36   a different life. I wanted to    37   him some words. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38   time I had had such moments.
        When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked    39   the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. Ten years later, a similar   40   played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to give him   41   and confidence as he started his new life. Again, words   42    me.
        Now before him, I thought of those    43   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44   , only not to tell him what he has   45     to me. Or what he might   46   to face in the years ahead.
        What does it matter if a father never tells his son what he really thinks of him?   47   I knew it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48   never hearing him put his    49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50  to tell a son something from the heart?
       My mouth turned dry, but finally I said, “Daniel, if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but I couldn't hear, for tears misted my eyes. All I was     52      of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was short and    54  . It was nothing to others. However, it was    55   to me.
