Recently I gave my adult students homework．It was to "go to someone you love and tell them you love them．It has to be someone you have 25 said those words to before or at least haven't 26 those words with for a long time．"
Since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the 27 of men that were taught 28 feelings is not "manly",this was very 29 homework for some．
In our next 30 ,I asked if someone wanted to share his story with us．I fully 31 one of the women to volunteer,as was 32 the case,but on this evening one of the men raised his hand．As he 33 out of his chair （all 1．85 metres of him）,he began by saying,"Dennis,I was quite 34 with you last week when you gave us this homework． 35 were you to tell me to do something that personal?But as I began driving home my heart started talking to me,telling me that I knew 36 who I needed to say 'I love you' to．"
"My father and I had a severe 37 five years ago,and since then we had 38 seeing each other unless we had to at Christmas．But even then,we hardly 39 to each other．So last Tuesday I drove to my parents' house after work and said,"Dad,I just 40 to tell you that I love you.'"
"Dad reached out and 41 me and said,'I love you too,son,but I've never been able to say it．' Two days after my visit,my dad had a heart attack and I don't know if he will 42 it．So,I'm here to tell all of you that my 43 in this is:Don't wait to do the things 44 it is too late．Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now!"
