I don't see my parents very often, usually only about once a year. When we were visiting them this Thanksgiving my father recalled a few memories from when I was a toddler, about the age that my son is now. He told me about how he would take me on walks in the forest, about how he would carry me in a backpack when he went flyfishing. Perched high on his back I would fall asleep as he waded upstream in search of trout. I have no memory of this. But I can almost hear the sounds of those remote Oregon waters. I can almost feel my arms draped around my father's strong shoulders. I hope that someday I will be able to speak of similar things to Johnny. And I hope that my words will be as meaningful to him as my father's have been to me.
