“I’m 37 tomorrow ,” he said.
“I know.” My 38 was almost a whisper（低声）.I was 39 at myself for being so weak ,but I wasn’t about to cry .
“My 40 is early ,so there is still 41 time to come to the airport,” he said .Seeing the 42 look on my face ,he quickly added, “I promise(答应) I won’t leave without saying goodbye.”
I tried to say 43 ,but didn’t . It’s always 44 to keep quiet if you’re about to cry . “You promised you wouldn’t cry ,” he said to me ,thinking that I was close to 45 .

His coughing stopped my thinking .What was left to say ?How could I say 48 to the person who taught me everything?
