Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for July 11, 2012
Transcript:
Val: Alix really does remind me of her dad... Joan: We all miss him. Val: He used to take her out in his row boat...she'd be bundled up in a life jacket with her own little fishing pole...she loved every minute! I really do wish Alix remembered it all - Alix: Rock bass! Blue gill! Perch! Erma: Where'd you learn so much about fish, Alix?? NOAA

Wonder if Alix’ blocked out conscious memories of her father?

That is about the nicest tribute, that a father could hope for. That he somehow made a difference in his daughter’s life.

When you’re that small, it’s often about what you perceive, and what you’re doing,not so much about who’s there with you. I think it’s great she remembers that much at least!

I agree with King Shark-they those memories are buried deep in her mind. I know they have shown the family visiting the cemetery but I don’t remember what the dad died from.

For Alix subconsciously she does remember what her dad talked about.

I went fishing with a friend and caught a bunch o’ catfish. My wife will not eat fish that isn’t from an expensive restaurant, so my kids had only had fishsticks. My 3 yo daughter got so excited that she ate her fill. The funny thing is that I don’t think she has eaten fish since(in 30 years) – she claims to hate it. Many kids will do things they normally don’t like, just to be with a special adult.
