My father was an ill-humored man. I knew he loved me and his love was deep. He just didn’t know how to it.
One evening we went out for a night on the town.We were sitting in an elegant restaurant that had a small but lively .When it played a familiar waltz tune I decided to my father for a dance. “Dad, you know I’ve never with you before. I begged you but you wanted to. How about right now?” I waited for the refusal.But instead, he considered thoughtfully and then said, “Let’s hit the floor and I’ll you just what kind of moves an old guy like me can still make.” My father took me in his and I felt overcome by emotion. As we danced I looked up at my father carefully but he my eyes. “Dad,” I finally , tears in my eyes, “Why is it so hard for you to look at me?” At last his eyes dropped to my face.“ I love you so much.” he whispered back.I was struck dumb by his .It wasn’t what I had thought.But it was of course exactly what I needed to .I had always known that he loved me. I just hadn’t understood that his vast emotion had him and made him silent.“I love you too, Dad!” I whispered back softly.He stumbled (结结巴巴地说) over the next few words: “I’m sorry that I’m not open. It’s for me, but just remember how much I love you.” When the dance ended I excused myself to the ladies’ room and during my absence changed.When I came back, Dad sat in his chair his body leaning forward, very pale.Everything was really too late.He was .
That night all I saw was his leaning body and pale face.But it’s a totally different scene that I now.I remember his saying “I love you” and my saying it back.The three words on forever long after we are gone.
