At 5：30 in the afternoon I was at my parents' house ringing the（9） ， praying that dad would（10） the door． I was afraid if mum answered that I would （11） and tell her（12） ． Luckily， Dad did answer the door．

Believe it or not， it seemed like a magic．Before my eyes，my father's face softened，the wrinkles（皱纹） seemed to（14） and he began to cry． He hugged me and said excitedly， "I LOVE YOU too， my dear son， but I've（15） been able to say it．" Seeing this unforgettable sight， Mom walked by with tears in her eyes．
So my message to all of you is this： Don't wait to do the things you know need to be done． What if I had waited to tell my dad？
