第34章 世间真情(16)

I love having you in my life.It has never been the same since you came into it,and I know it will never be the same again.

I love you so much.You are always inside me,warm within my heart,and you are everywhere in the world that surrounds me.You come to me tenderly.You take my soul places it's never been before.You give me more of you than I ever knew anyone could give.

You give me feelings that feel like presents almost too beautiful to open.[A]Among the gifts you have given,one of the most wonderful of all is the joy of being so close to you.Thank you for trusting me enough to share all that you are with all that I hope to be.

I love catching glimpses of every new facet you share with me.And the more you do that,the more I can't help but adore what I see.

In the time that we have been together,you have made my sun rise on so many mornings and I'm sure it was you who made my stars come out at night.[B]You've surprised me with the gifts of hope and laughter and love,and you've made me a believer in something I never used to have too much faith in:the notion that dreams really can come true.

[C]If there are times when you look at me and see my eyes filled with smiles and tears,it's only because my heart is so full of happiness,and because my life is so thankful for you.

Listen,son:I am saying this as you lie asleep,one little paw crumpIed under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead.I have stolen into your room alone.Just a few minutes ago,as I sat reading my paper in the library,a hot,sti fl ing wave of remorse swept over me.Guiltily I came to your bedside.

There are the things I was thinking,son:I had been cross to you.[A]I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you had your face merely a dab with a towel.I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes.I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the fl oor.

At breakfast I found fault,too.You spilled things.You gulped down your food.You put your elbows on the table.You spread butter too thick on your bread.And as you started to play and I made for my train,you turned and waved a hand and called,"Goodbye,Daddy!"and I frowned,and said in reply,"Hold your shoulders back!"

Then it began all over again in the late afternoon.As I came up the road,I spied you,down on your knees,playing marbles.There were holes in your stockings.I humiliated you before your boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house.Stockings were expensive,and if you had to buy them,you would be more careful!Imagine that,son,from a father!

It is a feebIe atonement I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours.But tomorrow I will be a real daddy![B]I will chum with you,and suffer when you suffer,and laugh when you laugh.[C]I will bite my tongue when impatient words come.I will keep saying as if it were a ritual:"He is nothing but a boy-a little boy!"

I am afraid I have visualized you as a man.Yet as I see you now,son,crumpled and weary in your cot,I see that you are still a baby.Yesterday you were in your mother's arms,your head on her shoulder.I have asked too much,too much.
