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
