As it turned out.

0I was on the road for two weeks, and when I finally walked down the familiar street towards our house I began to get apprehensive. I was afraid I had hurt pop by running away. How could I find the right words to explain to him why I went?02br
02br
00As it turned out00, it was Pop who found the right words, When I came through the front door he looked up from his newspaper, and a wonderfully warm and relieved smile went over his face. Then he gave me a wink and said, "There's food in the icebox, Danny" -- the words he had always greeted me with when I came home from school or play. So nothing had changed between us. He understood me, and my searchings and longings, so 00unlike his own or my brothers00.02br

00Could anyone explain the highlighted words, please?0-
