Just like that, 20 years have passed and I still miss you every day. What I wouldn't give to go on one more fishing trip together with you.

So many times recently I've thought to myself, "I wish I knew what my Dad would say about this..."
18 years now, and I miss you more each day.

Fall always reminds me of you, Dad. It's the time of year when the leaves fall with the temperature and I look to the skies to see flocks of ducks and geese gathering for their journey south. I will always cherish the memories of the times we spent together on the road, on the lakes and in the woods. Oh, what I would give to take one more trip to Canada together with you. I miss you and love you.
