You will always be my favorite fisherman. I love you. Happy birthday. 
* I think I’m probably eight or nine in this photo. My dad is an avid fisherman and took us with him out to sea all the time. This was in a hut on one of the islands we docked at, maybe for lunch (explains what appears to be the food coma that my dad’s in!). I used to complain about being on the boat all the time, because I was a vain little girl and hated the heat and humidity and the sticky saltwater that made my hair gross. But now, I realize my childhood was actually quite adventurous because of those trips on the water, and that one of my favorite memories of my dad is him squinting in the sun, with a beer in his hand, celebrating a catch. Now, I won’t trade those memories for anything in the world.
