When Daniel was five,I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.He___26___me-as he did now."What is it going to be like,Dad?Will I be okay?"And then he walked up the___27___of the bus and disappeared inside.And the bus drove away.And I had said nothing.
A decade or so later,a similar___28___appeared.I drove him to college.I tried to think of something to say to give him___29___and confidence as he started this new life.Again,words___30___me.
Now,as I stood before him,I thought of Daniel's grandfather and those___31___opportunities in my life.How many times have we all let such moments pass?
My father and I loved each other.Yet,I always___32___never hearing him put his___33___into words and never having the memory of that moment.Now,I could feel my hands sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so___34___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___35___."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___36___.Then he came toward me and threw his arms around me.For a moment,the world and all its people stopped,and there was just Daniel and me.He was saying something,___37___my tears rolled down,and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I could___38___was the stubble(胡茬)on his chin as his face___39___against mine.And then,the moment ended.What I had said to Daniel was clumsy.It was nothing.And yet,it was___40___.
