Dear Dad,
Remember that time we hiked up to the "G".  I think it was on one of my birthdays, I had never been up to the "G" so you took me.  I remember we brought candy bars and iced tea, we brought the iced tea in glass mason jars.  It didn't occur to me that that was a little weird until I was telling Phil the story the other day.  Lol!  I remember when we finally reached the "G", it was constructed of thousands of little white rectangle pieces, not one giant white piece like I was expecting.
There was re-bar sticking out here and there all over it. I was disappointed because I had pictured myself sliding down it.  I remember we carved our names and the date onto one of those little white rectangles like many before us had done.  I remember the hike down.  We were on a narrow part of the trail it went up on one side and steeply down on the other, you lost your footing and stumbled to the ground.  I remember I was terrified that you were going to fall off the side of the trail to certain death and there I was a little girl who would be all by myself without a clue of what to do.  Fortunately you righted yourself and did not fall off the side of the trail, you can imagine my relief.
