Maybe all of that talk was done before he left. Maybe the Dad wrote a letter and tucked it inside a bus ticket home. In the letter he said, "I love you. I have always loved you. I have diligently pursued you for all of these years. Your departure and exit from my life is a bitter blow to me and I long for you to come home running. But you are a young man and must make your own choices. Please know that I will never stop loving you, no matter where you find yourself. I now can only wait for your return. You may be on your own now, but you are never alone. Love, Dad"
Note: this is well beyond the text of Scripture. But I believe that it reflects the father's heart based on his response. What do yo think?
