Also when I was around the same age we had left my grandparents house. It was me, my mama and my little sister. Dad was at work. I was in the back seat wide awake and just listening to the tires roll down the road. My folks live out in the middle of nowhere in Oglethorpe county. We were going down the road in silence, all of a sudden I heard my dad just as plain as day say "I love you son". My dad has always been a big joker so I thought he was hid in the back of the Ford explorer we were in. I was looking back there when my mama asked what I was doing. I asked her where dad was. She said he's at work I guess. I told her about what I heard and she laughed. When we got home and told Dad he was shocked and said are you serious? He drove an 18 wheeler and said he was just going down the road thinking about me and actually said out loud that he loved me. We still talk about that. I don't really believe in that kind of thing but I heard it so plain that it was/ still is very strange.
