There was a silence at the other end and he       replied，“Well，same back at ya!”

I chuckled and said，“Dad，I know you love me，and when you are       ，I know you will say what you want to say．’’

A few weeks later，Dad       our phone conversation with the words，“Paul，I love you．’’I was at work during this conversation and the tears were rolling down my cheeks as I       “heard’’ the love．As we both sat there in tears we realized that this special moment had taken our father-son relationship to a new       ．
