Sometimes when he was real proud of me he would reach over and grab my shoulder and squeeze it. That was huge to me, cuz I knew what he was trying to tell me, even tho he couldn't outright come out and say it...

****, everyday now when we talk on the phone he tells me he loves me.

Funny how things work out...
I came from a very expressive family in that regard. Bosslady did not. Similar to yours, I suppose.
I have trained her to be more expressive. It was difficult for her at first. But she saw how easy it is to tell someone you love that you do.
After all the **** I've seen over the past few years, I never miss a chance to say so to people I care about. You never know....

I tell my boys every day I love them. They are both the same way. Tell my womenfolk too....

Good to see my Pop come around..
