When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery(手术). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.
The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face.

We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.
My mother managed to live through the surgery.

Now the next step﹣walking． You'd seen others do it． It didn't look that hard﹣just move your legs while you were standing． Wrong﹣more difficult than you ever imagined． But after you tried again and again and again， you understood how to walk．
If people found you walking， they cheered， "Oh， look at what the kid is doing．" This encouraged you!But look back on those days when you were the little child﹣how many times did you try when no one was watching， or when no one was cheering？ You couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps．You learned how to encourage yourself．
So， keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something．

The man said，"I wear the Spider﹣Man suit in order to get attention．"Without the suit，few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food．When people see the "Spider﹣Stan"，however，they come over and ask what he is doing．
"The Birmingham Spider﹣Man" has already got lots of attention．Many people have offered to give away money to him． But the young man never accepts the money． Instead， he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own． He said， "If more people offer a helping hand， the cold winter nights won't be so cold any longer．"

In a few hours Sam would be flying to Germany． We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence of my beach﹣side house．
Such a moment was not the first time for me．On Sam's first day of kindergarten （幼儿园），I felt his stress when holding his hand．He looked at me﹣as he did now． But I said nothing till the school bus came．About ten years later，I drove him to the college． He was sick but I didn't know then． I thought he was just too tired． I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life． Again，___________．
Now， as I stood before him， I thought of those opportunities we parents all let pass． A boy graduates from school，a daughter gets married．We seldom find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us． Or what they might face in the future．
Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy．Then he became the best baseball player in high school． His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair．I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent，but proud that later he chose English literature．One day，I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working．Sam decided to learn German in Berlin，even though his friends thought it meaningless．
The night before he was to leave， I failed to say any words again． Maybe， I thought， it wasn't necessary to say anything．
What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him？ But as I stood before Sam，I knew it does matter． My father and I loved each other． However，I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words．
"Sam，"I said，"if I could have picked，I would have picked you．"I wasn't sure he understood what I meant． Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me，saying"thank you"．My eyes misted over （模糊）． Then， the moment ended， and Sam left home．
That was seven weeks ago， and now I think about him when I walk along the beach near my home on weekends． Thousands of miles away， Sam might be busy walking in the street of Berlin．
What I had said to Sam was not new． It was nothing．But，it was everything．
