When I moved out on my own, I called him at least once a week, usually when something broke in my flat and I needed to know how to ____16____ it.
But then, day after day, I needed him less. I got married, and my husband had lots of ____17____ about everything.
I didn’t know when it happened, but when I ____18____ back, our conversations went like that. “Hi, Dad, ” I said.
And he said “Hi, sweet, here’s Mom.”
I loved my dad, of course, but sometimes I was not sure if he had already shared everything I needed to know. Maybe I’d heard all his stories. Maybe, after knowing him for 40 years, there was nothing left to say.
Then, this past summer, my husband, our four kids, and I moved in with my parents for three weeks ____19____ our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead (隔板) at their dock.

”Yep.Now come up here and let me teach you how to use this circular saw.“
As he explained the reason of not setting the blade (刀片) too deep, I realized that maybe it was not that there was nothing left to ____23____. Maybe it was just that I’d spent my life asking him the wrong questions.
A few weeks later, after my family and I moved back into our own house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweet,” he said, “here’s Mom.”
“Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you?” We ended up talking about the consulting things he was working on, and a new battery he’d bought for his boat. Nothing life-changing, nothing earth-shattering. To ____24____ else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was a new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.
