At the 43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 44 what happened when they told someone they loved them．I fully expected one of the 45 to volunteer, as was usually the 46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand．He appeared quite moved and a bit 47 ．As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis．I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment．I didn’t think that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience （良知） started talking to me．It was telling me that I 51 exactly who I needed to say I love you to．You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 52 and really never resolved it since that one．We 53 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings．But 54 then, we hardly spoke to each other．So last．Tuesday 55 I got home, I had convinced myself．I was going to tell my father I loved him．”

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __36__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __37__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __38__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __39__ with his homework or he was trying to __40__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __41__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __42__.”
The next day I called his teacher to __43__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __44__.
“Basically, most of the fathers had the __45__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __46__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __47__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __48__. It’s something all human beings __49__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __50__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __51__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __52__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __53__ second. And just __54__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”
I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __55__.
