My father never said goodbye. He left the porch light burning, a little yellow circle in the dark to tell me he was waiting. His boots were lined beside the door, his lunch tin on the table. He wasn't one for tender words, but he gave us all he was able. He could mend a fence in pouring rain, make an old truck run again. When I needed him to say he cared, he'd squeeze my shoulder and stand there.
