He walked over toward the window where I 4. I could see he wanted to cry. I tried not to disturb his privacy(隐私), but he 5 me in by asking, "Did you ever say goodbye to someone you love, knowing it would be forever?", "Yes, I have," I 6. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and 7 for all my Dad had done for me. After thirty seconds of silence. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a/an 8 goodbye?" I asked."
