其实，世上所有的父亲对儿女的那份眷眷之心都是同样的，只不过爱心的表达方式各有不同。但愿世上的每一颗寸草之心都能以同样诚挚的拳拳之意去“报得三春晖”。
He was 50 years old when I was born,and a "Mr.Mom"longbefore anyone had a name for it.（注：早在“家庭主夫”这个词出现之前，他就已经担当起这个角色了。Mr.Mom:家庭主夫， 指家庭中父亲不外出工作，在家打理家务、照顾孩子，充当一般家庭中全职母亲的角色。）I didn't kncw why he was home instead of Mom, but Iwas young and the only one of my friends who had their dadaround.I considered myself very lucky.
Dad did so many things for me during my grade-school（注：2.〈美〉小学。）years.He convinced the school bus driver topick me up my house instead of the usual bus stop that wassix blocks away.He always had my lunch ready for me when Icame home-usually a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that wasshaped for the season.My favorite was at Christmas. Thesandwiches would be sprinkled with green sugar and cut in theshape of a tree. As I got a little older and tried to gain my independence, Iwanted to move away from those "childish" signs of his love.But he wasn't going to give up.In high school and no longerable to go home for lunch,I began taking my own. Dad wouldget up a little earlier and make it for me. I never knew whatto expect.The outside of the sack might be covered with hisrendering of a mountain scene（注：他画的山景草图。rendering:透视图， 草图。 ）( it became his trademark)
or a heartinscribed with "Dad-n-Angie" in its center. Inside therewould be a napkin with that same heart or an "I love you".Many times he would write a joke or a riddle, such as "Whydon't they ever call it a momsicle instead of a popsicle?"（注：“为什么冰棍不是 momsicle，而是叫做 popsicle 呢？”popsicle:〈美〉冰棍，棒冰，是由原商标名pop+(i)cicle （冰柱）演变而来的。这句话其实是利用了pop（〈美口〉爸爸）与 mom 词义的相对性，玩了一个文学游戏。）He always had some silly saying to make mesmile and let me know that he loved me.
I used to hide my lunch so no one would see the bag orread the napkin,but that didn't last long.One of my friendssaw the napkin one day,grabbed it,and passed it around the lunchroom.（注：（学校）食堂。）My face burned with
embarrassment.To my astonishment,the next day all my friends were waitingto see the napkin.From the way they acted,I think they allwished they had someone who showed them that kind of love.Iwas so proud to have him as my father.Throughout the rest ofmy high school years,I received those napkins,and still havea majority of them.（注：现在还保留着其中大部分的餐巾纸。）
And still it didn't end.When I left home for college(thelast one to leave),I thought the messages would stop.But myfriends and I were glad that his gestures continued.（注：gesture：这里指“（爸爸）这种爱的表示。”）
I missed seeing my dad every day after school and so Icalled him a lot.My phone bills got to be pretty high. Itdidn't matter what we said; I just wanted to hear his voice.We started a ritual during that first year that stayed with us.After I said goodbye he always said,"Angie?"
"Yes,Dad?"I'd reply.
"I love you."
"Ilove you,too,Dad."
I began getting letters almost every Friday. The front-desk staff（注：前台工作人员。front-desk：（大楼中的）服务台，前台。）always knew who the letter were from —the returnaddress said "The Hunk."（注：按一般理解，“The Hunk ”既然是寄信人地址，Hunk应该是姓，但是从作者的署名看似乎并非如此。所以在这里，根据上下文不妨将Hunk照其原意理解，即“〈美方〉（儿童游戏中的）大本营”。）Many times the envelopes were addressed in crayon,and along with the enclosed letters were usuallydrawings of our cat and dog,stick figures（注：（除头部用圆圈外身体和四肢皆用单直线表示的）人物线条画。） of him and Mom,and if I had been home the weekend before, of me racingaround town with friends and using the house as a pit stop.（注：（汽车赛中的）加油、维修点。）He also had his mountainscene and the heartencased inscription,"Dad-n-Angie".
The mail was delivered every day right before lunch,soI'd have his letters with me when I went to the cafeteria. Irealized it was useless to hide them because my roommate wasa high school friend who knew about his napkins. Soon itbecame a Friday afternoon ritual.I would read the letter,and the drawing and envelope would be passed around.
It was during this time that Dad became stricken withcancer.When the letters didn't come on Friday,I knew that hehad been sick and wasn't able to write.He used to get up at 4:00a.m.,so he could sit in the quiet house and do his letters.If he missed his Friday delivery,the letters would usuallycome a day or two later.But they always came.My friends usedto call him"Coolest Dad in the Universe."And one day theysent him a card bestowing（注：
）that title,signed by
all of them.I believe he taught all of us about a father'slove.I wouldn't be surprised if my friends started sending napkins to their children.He left an impression that would stay with them and inspire them to give their own children their expression of their love.
Throughout my four years of college,the letters and phonecalls came at regular intervals.But then the time came when Idecided to come home and be with him because he was growingsicker,and I knew that our time together was limited.Thosewere the hardest days to go through.To watch this man,whoalways acted so young,age past his years.（注：比他的年龄显老。）In the end he didn't recognize who I was and would callme the name of a relative he hadn't seen in many years.Eventhough I knew it was due to his illness,it still hurt that he couldn't remember my name.
I was alone with him in his hospital room a couple ofdays before he died.We held hands and watched TV.As I wasgetting ready to leave,he said,"Angie?"
"Yes,Dad?"
"I love you."
"I love you,too,Dad."
