I'll never forget. A child of two to maybe seven years old. I was fearless when it came to my Dad's shoulders. I couldn't just sit no I had to stand up. I absolutely stood on those shoulders and could see the world. I was taller than everyone and could see everthing, at least I thought. When I was at the parade I never had a blocked view. At the ocean I could see for miles out into the water.
I could see farther because of my dad's shoulders.
