Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
I was born to dance. I've been dancing all my life, ever since my
mother, who gave up a dancing career on the stage when she
married my father, picked me up and twirled me around as an infant.
As much as I loved dancing with her, her greatest gift to me was her
"unconditional love" during her lifetime.
My parents divorced after only 5 years of marriage, but my father
remarried a lovely lady who also loved to dance. They used to take
me to a dancing club where I would listen to the music and watch
them dance-occasionally my stepmother, Mary, invited me to dance.
I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party. I danced with her
for about 15 minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in
love with her. We kept dancing throughout our marriage. My earliest
memories of dancing with my daughters started when I came home
from work to our small home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and my
daughter Laura was about 3 years old. It was very relaxing for me. to
turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her

around the room!
Our family danced a lot. My daughters, Laura and Anne, and I
continued to dance on every occasion. One favorite memory I have of
dancing with Laura and Anne was when I took each of them when
they were seniors in high school to the Daddy-Daughter dance. We
won both dance competitions!
As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with
unconditional love, as my Mother provided to me, endless emotional
and loving support, and good educations and life experiences which
have helped prepare them for happy and successful adult lives.
Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider
fatherhood a privilege, not an entitlement.
In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I
still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters." My Father's Day
suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every
opportunity. It will not only bring you closer, it will give them memories
of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone.
