Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: he knew everything. In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to _________ in the real world. When I moved out, I called him each week, usually when something _________ in my apartment. But after I got married, I needed him _________ because I had my husband. When I called, our conversations _________ into seven words: “Hi, Dad.” My dad: “Hi, my sweet. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already _________ everything I needed to know.
This past summer, my husband and I moved in with my _________ while our house was being repaired. Dad asked me to help him _________ the bulkhead(舱壁) at their dock. As we put the new bulkhead together piece by piece, my dad knew _________ the right place of everything we need. I felt surprised when my dad told me he _________ a summer in college building them. I never knew this. “Now let me teach you how to use this saw(锯子).” As he explained the __________, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the __________ questions.
After we moved back, I called my parents. Dad answered, “Hi, my sweet. Here’s Mom.” “____________, Dad,” I said. “How are you?”
We __________ talking about the job he was doing. To anyone else, it would sound like a __________ conversation between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was a new __________ . I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.
