24、In a few hours, Sam would be flying to France. We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence.
Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam’s first day of kindergarten, 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, ▲ .
Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. One day, I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn French in Paris, 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.
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 did matter.
“Sam,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure whether 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. Maybe Sam is busy walking in the street of Paris.
What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing. But, it was everything.
