Hearing what I said， my dad laughed kindly. I continued， “I owe your thanks， and I hope you realize how much you did for me as my dad.”

“Well， we got you educated，” he said， laughing generously.
“You did more than that，” I said， “You did well.”
“You like your house now， and your life?” he asked quietly.
“Yeah， Dad， I’m happy. You don’t have to worry—things are going great for us.”
I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me and I hung up the phone. As I got ready for bed， I thought about what an amazing conversation we had.
