The walk didn抰 bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn抰 seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.ut

　　It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached a stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

　　A row of hedge (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my father抯 head.Then I knew,each time I抎 come home,he had stood behind the hedgeni,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.

　　On later visits,that spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.揝o!My son,it抯 you!攈e抎 say,venihis face lengthening into pretended surprise.

　　I replied,揧es,Dad,it抯 me.I抦 home.?bec
