【推荐1】Five years ago, my father and I had a serious disagreement. We didn’t ________ it. We avoided seeing each other ________ we had to at some important family gatherings(聚会). But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.

So last Tuesday, when I got home, I told ________ I was going to tell my father I loved him. It was strange, but just making that ________ seemed to take a load(沉重感) off my mind.

I was so ________ that I could hardly sleep during the night. The next morning, I went to ________ early. At 9:00 in the morning, I called my dad to ask ________ I could come over after work. He ________.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, I was at my parents’ house ringing the ________, expecting that Dad would ________ the door. I was afraid that if Mom answered, I would ________ and tell her instead. Luckily, Dad did answer the door.

I didn’t ________ any time—I took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just come over to tell you that I love you.”

Believe it or not, it seemed like ________. Before my eyes, my father’s face softened, the wrinkles(皱纹) seemed to ________ and he began to cry. He hugged me and said excitedly, “I love you, too, my dear son, but I’ve ________ 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 that you know need to be done. What if I had waited to tell my dad?
