It’s fortunate that you got to fish with your dad! I took my daughter a couple of times when she was 10 ish. We still bring it up, and we both feel good about those memories. She caught the first fish. I’ve not gone since. 😃

What a fun memory, Paul. Maybe time for another fishing expedition!

Fishing with her dad is probably not on her to do list, at this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (mine either). But the memory is still awesome!

Aww!! What a cutie! Love that pic of you and your dad! Made me remember days of fishing with my dad and that exact same bobber! We did our fishing in Mammoth Lakes in CA. Great memories! Thanks for a great article!

How fun that you and your dad fished with a bobber, too! Wasn't it fun watching it start to bob! I'd love to hear about some of your fishing expeditions with your dad.

"Dad was always my hero when we went fishing on the dock. He was my bait-man, my hook-remover-man, and my biggest cheerleader when that bobber went bobbing. " Such fine memories for you, Heather. He looks like a lovely man. And, though I am sure everyone has already told you, in this photo you look EXACTLY like him. Same face - old and young version. It is uncanny. I was so tickled by the video of the bobber! This whole piece was just delightful - and a perfect metaphor for kindness. I would love to hear more about your father. Thank you, Heather.

That is such a kind thing for you to say...that I look like my Dad. And you are right...I do. My grand hope is that I am like him as a human. He was innately kind.

You are inspiring me to share a few other stories down the road. Thank you!❤
