I was the happiest five year old, loving every second of being daddy’s little girl. We were two peas in a pod, doing everything together, including helping him clean his freshly shot game that he would bring home. Duck feet were my favorite, and despite my moms quick refusal of letting me save them, I took it upon myself to hide them in my room. It was weeks until my mom ever discovered them.

    My dad won't sit on the riverbank anymore. He won't tell any more fishermen's tales. He won't cast his fly again and though his creel may be empty my eyes are filled with tears. My dad was a quiet man. He liked the solitude of fishing. He liked to be one with nature. It wouldn't occur to him that he was so popular, that he will be missed so much. Yet the very fact that so many mourn his passing says much more about him, and his kindness, than mere words. My dad, you see, did his good deeds
