I don't remember my father ever telling me he loved me but I knew he did. I always had the sneaking feeling it wasn't a lot of fun to work fourteen hours a day six days a week as well as all the other sacrifices he made for me. He never hesitated to put me and my siblings first even though I'm sure there are days he felt otherwise. He was proud of me too but he rarely told me so. Even so I knew it by what I heard from others. Nowadays, I think he wanted me to be modest as he was and never let on he was proud of my education and achievements because he thought I'd get "too big for my britches". Our society is so self absorbed today. Everyone's looking for a pat on the back. Why is it so important to hear those feelings expressed? Aren't actions louder than words most times? My father never told me he loved me in so many words. What he did for me more than made up for that lack of expression. He never learned how and I accepted that and was satisfied with our relationship nevertheless. He never told me he loved me but I grew up feeling loved just the same. JLA
