I lost my Dad back in 1986, four weeks after my son was born. THere isn't a day that I don't think of him in some way or otherespecially on Thnksgiving. Not that anything of note happened at any one dinner that stands out. But more to pause an reflect and to be thankful for all that he shre and gave of himself to his family and to his children. He loved the outdoors and would spend as much time as he could out in the woods or on the water. Often, I went with him. Today, I find that I do many of the things that I used to do with him. Fishing, fly tyng, beginning to do my own plugs. And I have begun to appreciate why he liked to be out there. Funny, sometimes, today when I'm out on the water, I think that if I turned around fast enough, I'd catch a glimps of him sitting on a rock behind me, watching and smiling.
