题目内容:
When I was growing up, we were not an “I love you” family. We certainly found such affection lovely. We just didn’t do it.
I was thinking about all of this on Saturday at my daughter Katie’s recital (演奏会). I had never insisted she do anything in her free time except learn how to play the piano. I carried this from childhood. My parents couldn’t afford these lessons. My daughter mostly accepted this demand with good humor. This has meant, through the years, that our house has been filled with a few muddled (混乱的) complaints mixed with versions of songs.
The day of the recital, I was listening to Katie practice The Entertainer, and one note was not good. I don’t know how to play the piano, but I did say, “Hey, Katie, maybe you should hold that note just a bit longer.” Then she played it again and again. I realized that I had done something unintended — I was making her think too much just a few hours before her recital.
So I told her not to worry about it, but it was too late. She kept at it for a little while longer until finally I said that she’d played it perfectly. I didn’t think we ever isolated that note; I felt pretty bad for even bringing it up.
Then it was time for recital. Katie was the first one to perform. She was dressed well. As I watched her play The Entertainer, all I could think was how grown-up she had become, and that I had already missed the four-, five-, six-year-old versions of her.
She got to the end of the song, and she reached the note we had talked about. And she held it. She held it so long that for an instant it broke her timing on the rest of the song. Then she finished the song, and she looked right at me. Then I hugged her. My parents are right. You don’t have to say the words “I love you”. Sometimes one note will do.
