I walked him to the bus station.While we were waiting,he stood against the wall. My father had -2-- been a strong and heavy man.Now I saw how thin and weak he was.

But I remembered my father's final lesson.My boy will learn by waht I am and what I do far more than by what I tell him.
When Eric, aged eight, says, “Dad, can we talk?” I -12-- my book and say, “ Sure.” I think for a second he wants my advice about something, but then I remember. He doesn't want advice. He just wants to talk.
