介绍:
《l“ Heard" the love》
When I was growing up I do not recall hearing the words"love you"from my father. When your father never says them to you when you are a child, it gets tougher and tougher for him to say those words as he gets older. To tell the truth, I could not honestly remember when I had last said those words to him either. i decided to set my ego aside and make the first move. After some hesitation, in our next phone conversation I blurted out the words, "Dad. I love you!"
There was a silence at the other end and he awkwardly replied, "Well, same back at ya!"
I chuckled and said, "Dad, I know you love me, and when you are ready, I know you will say what you want to say."
Fifteen minutes later my mother called and nervously asked, "Paul, is everything okay?"
A few weeks later, Dad concluded 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 finally"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 level.
A short while after this special moment, my father narrowly escaped death following heart surgery. Many times since, I have pondered the thought if i did not take the first step and Dad did not survive the surgery, I would have never"heard"the love.
《我“听到”了爱的声音》
在我成长的过程中，我不记得爸爸对我说过“我爱你”。当你还是孩子的时候，爸爸就从来没对你说过这些话，那么随着他年龄的增长，他就会越来越难开口。说实话，我也忘记了自己上次对他说那些话是在什么时候。我决定抛开我的面子，踏出第一步。一阵犹豫过后，在一次通电话时我突然冒出了一句：“爸爸……我爱你！
电话的那端先是片刻沉默，然后他很不自然地回应说：“嗯，我也爱你！”
我轻声笑着说：“爸爸，我知道你爱我，我知道等你准备好了，你就会把想说的话说出来。”刻钟后，妈妈打电话过来紧张不安地问：“保罗，你没什么事吧?”
几周之后，爸爸在挂电话前说了句“保罗，我爱你。”打电话时我正在上班，在终于“听”到爱的声音后，泪水还是顺着脸颊流了下来。在我们两人都坐在那里泪流满面时，我们知道这特别的时刻把我们的父子关系推上了一个新台阶。
这个特别时刻过后不久，爸爸就接受了心脏手术，不过有惊无险。从此以后，我时常在想，如果我没有迈出第一步，如果爸爸的手术不成功，我就不可能再有机会“听”到爱的声音了。
大家还在听
