I stepped into my

hotel room which was surrounded by a(n)
26 king-size bed, flanked(两侧有)by overstuffed armchairs. “Wow,” I thought to myself. “Nice place.”
I
27 hotels. I love to enter a clean room, look out the window, or walk out in the morning
28 that each afternoon when I return, someone else will have made the bed.
The
29 is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family. Even though Linus and Camille, aged 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the
30 night’s sleep at home, still, I’d rather be with them.
I’m deeply
31 by the parents who wake up too late with the realization: “My children grew up too
32 . In the busy and noisy career and life, I
33 their childhood.”
A hundred years from now, nobody will remember the car you drove or the large house you lived. The world might
34 greatly however, based on your
35 on the life of a small child. Your

life will most certainly improve, if you pay attention to your important
36 , and make the choice to put her or him first. What could you do today to let your loved ones know how much they
37 to you? What will you do tomorrow? And the next day?
Think of one specific
38 that you can take, and take it. Challenge yourself

to find new ways to
39 your appreciation and love on a daily basis.
Room service will never kiss you goodnight! Nothing
40 family.
