My father is a strong fisherman. He loved the sea and would stay out until he caught enough to 16 the family .
When we met 17 weather , he would drive me to school with his old truck . And after we 18 , he would bend over and give me a 19 on the face and then tell me to be a good boy. I always felt very 20 in front of so many other 21 . I was already a twelve-year–old young man , but my father still kissed me goodbye !
Then on a rainy day I 22 to tell him my feeling . When we stopped at the school gate, the 23 big smile appeared on my father’s face . I 24 what would happen next. I 25 put my hand up and for the first time said “ No” to him . The smile on his face immediately changed into a 26 look. He looked at me for a long time and 27 began to appear in his eyes. I was shocked. I had never 28 him cry ! Then he said, “ You’re right . You are a big boy … a man. I won’t kiss you 29 .’’
Not long after that, my father went to sea on a bad day. 30 of the fishermen stayed at home , but not Dad , because he had a big family to feed . But after that day, he 31 came back . Later his boat was 32 with his nets half in and half out . He must have 33 a strong wind and was trying to save the nets.
How I wished I had not 34 my father’s kiss! And from this I have learned that we should take every chance with our family and friends as the last one in our lives. We can have 35 regrets by doing so .
