I did not know what to say, and I just stood there, looking _________ at him. My first thought was that he must need _________ with his homework. Then I asked, "What was that all about?"

"Nothing," he said, "My teacher said we should _________ our parents we love them and see what they say."

The next day I called his teacher to _________ more about what my son said and how the other parents had behaved. "Most of the fathers had the same behavior as you did," the teacher said, "When I first suggested that we try this, I asked the children _________ they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble."

Then the teacher explained, "I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of _________ . I'm trying to tell them it's too bad that we don't show our feelings. A boy should tell his father or mother he loves him/her." The teacher understands that sometimes it is _________ for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.

That evening when my son came to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an _________ moment, saying, "Hey, I love you, too." I don't know if saying that made __________ of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.
