I Love You

If you want to get your 76 year old father off the phone just say, "I love you." I think it frightened him. It still frightens me. After 30 years of resenting my family for not saying those 3 words it dawned on me that I could. Without expectation, without resentment … just because. Ten years later he says it to me, my sister says it, and my brother too. The miracle in my life isn't a burning bush, it's my dad, after 86 years, telling me he loves me. - Pseudomonk
