Dear Daddy,

Today I took Randy for a walk at Egbert's Lake, just like we used to. Randy loved it...he even was brave and wanted to walk on the ice. But I wouldn't let him, of course. Walking around the lake reminded me of you. After all, you are the one who first introduced us to the lake. I got the feeling that you were watching us and that made me smile and feel warm.

When I was driving home from the lake, there were about 30 turkeys on the neighbor's lawn. You would have liked it.

I love you!
I miss you!

Love,
Daughter
