As they separated enough to look in each others face, I heard the father say，“Its so good to see you, son. I missed you so much！” His son smiled somewhat shyly, and replied softly，“
33、Me, too, Dad！”Then the man stood up, gazed into the eyes of his oldest son (maybe 9 or 10) and while cupping his sons face in his hands said, “Youre already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach！” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or
34、 oneandahalfyear old) was squirming (扭动) excitedly in her mothers arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father.

39、his joyous smile. “Two whole days！”Two days? I was stunned. I had assumed hed been gone for at least several weeksif not months.
