His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, hed say in his loudest father-voice, “Thats what your legs are for!”The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.

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 fathers head. Then I knew, each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.
