Dear Abby 的专栏一篇 ：
DEAR ABBY: Just yesterday I buried my father. I feel so empty. If I never accomplish anything else in my life, I would like the world to know that, with a little practice, it's easy to say, "I love you."
I realized during my dad's critical illness that sometimes it's very hard for people to say what's in their hearts. So I beg of you: Start today. Those three little words get easier every time you say them. --- A GRIEVING DAUGHTER, BETHEL PARK, PA.
DEAR DAUGHTER: My sympathy on the loss of your beloved father. Your letter carries an important message. Sometimes words that are the most difficult to say are the ones that the listener most needs to hear. Among the phrases that come to mind are: "I'm sorry," "I was wrong," and of course, "I love you."
critical illness 病危
grieving 悲痛的，伤心的
beg of 请求，恳求
Sometimes words that are the most difficult to say are the ones that the listener most needs to hear. 有时最难说出口的话正是对方最想听到的。
