Question

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to     his family.

First he moved to his youngest son as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug.     they separated, I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly and replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!”

Then the man stood up, gazed in the     of his oldest son and said, “You’re already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zach!” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.

After several      , he turned to his wife and declared, “I’ve saved the best for last!” and     to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I     remember seeing.

For an instant they     me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇), but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment and gathered my courage to   ask, “Wow! How long have you been married?”

“Almost twelve years.” he replied,     breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man   turned and looked at me,. “Two whole days”

Two days? I was     . By the intensity of the greeting, I had     he’d been gone for at least several weeks — if not months. I know my expression   me. Hoping to stop our conversation politely and continue with my     for my friend, I said almost immediately, “I hope my      is still that passionate after twelve years!”

The man suddenly      smiling. He looked me straight in the eye, and with power that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a      person. He told me, “Don’t    , friend …decide!” Then with wonderful smile, he and his family turned and left together.

I was still watching that special family walk just out of sight when my friend      to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without    , and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “ My future!”
