(一)
At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. As was usually the 41 , I fully expected one of the women to 42 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit 43 .
He began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite 44 with you last week when you gave us this 45 . I didn’t feel that I had anyone to say those words to, and 46 , who were you to tell me to do something that is 47 ? But as I began driving home a 48 deep down in my heart started talking to me. It was 49 me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a cruel 50 and really never resolved it since that time. We 51 seeing each other unless we totally had to at Christmas or other family 52 . But even then, we 53 spoke to each other. So, last Tuesday by the time I got home I had 54 myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.”
“It’s 55 , but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.”
“When I got home, I rushed into the house to tell my wife what I was going to do. She was already in bed , but I woke her up anyway. She catapulted ( 弹 射 ) out and hugged me, and for the first time in our married life she saw me cry. We stayed up half the night drinking coffee and talking. It was great.”
