On the Bitteroot River with My DAD

Have you ever had an experience so perfect that is seems like a dream? That is how I feel about this one. I was in 9th/10th grade and had a project due where I had to gather local insects and pin them to a board to display them. The more insects, the higher the grade. Of course I wanted an A, so I had worked hard on gathering but was just a few short of what I needed. Dad had the brilliant idea of going down to the river to gather insects. This is where it becomes perfect. The day was absolutely stunning! It was mid afternoon and the sun made the bank and the water just magnificent. It had such a warm glow and you could see insects flying in the air near the water. My Dad and I gathered insect after insect as we talked along the banks of the beautiful Bitteroot. I too want to reiterate how much I appreciated the one on one time with you Dad. I love this memory because of the beauty of the place and the beauty of the person I was with that day. I hope that eternity is filled with love and beauty like that!
