Learning to ski

A water story

Seven year old girl, loves her dad¸ will try anything he says. Flathead Lake in Montana waterskiing. “Just hold on. Whatever happens, hold onto the tow rope. Just hold on.”  So she did, all the way for about a mile and a half as the water overwhelmed her, in her eyes, mouth, nose, until the watcher had the driver cut the motor. “I held on, Daddy!” she choked out. “Yes, you did, Kitty Kat!” Years, years later the joy of waterskiing successfully bubbled. And this, Dad, I did for you because your crippled legs wouldn’t let you. Love you, Dad.
