This spring I got to go visit with my dad who I haven't seen in ten years!

That sounds great! Did you have a good visit? I hope it wasn't awkward.

We went camping and fishing and we really had a great time catching up. We didn't miss a beat.

Very cool. My own father passed away a few years ago. I miss doing things with him.

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Thanks. I just wish we had taken more time to spend together in his final years.
