“Hi Dad,” I said into the phone.
“What, what did you say,” dad yelled back with panic edging into his voice.
“I love you,” I said louder hoping his hearing aid would catch the sound. I could hear it’s piercing tone revealing that he had turned it up full blast.
“Oh god, I’ll have to wait till Peg’s back,” he said hanging up the phone in anger.
I dreamed that night he could hear me. That we sat quietly in the sunlight and talked about everything. The next morning I waked with such a feeling of love and loss. He was not dead like other peoples fathers but sometimes it felt like it because he was beyond my reach in the land of silence.
