Oops sorry I’m late to this one Joseph, but better late than never ;), I love that little memory you shared, it’s amazing how such a tiny thing can bring such profound thoughts later in life, I’m not an old man by any means but more and more I remember things from my childhood I thought we so insignificant at the time but now I realize some of them have effect everyday of my life, just part of growing up I suppose

It is very interesting how your dad took the hard route, Sometimes when people take shortcuts since they only desire the result. But once you start taking shortcuts you start to lose the sight of truth and eventually you will lose your motivation. When you take the hard route, you will have a hard time getting through but you will also have memories you can look back on to laugh in the future.

This really reminds me of the time when my father took my brother and I on several little adventures like this as kids. We once went on a difficult hike, but the view at the top was so beautiful that all the struggles were worth it. A few hours away from my hometown there are ancient Aztec pyramids and ruins. My father had us climb the stairs to the tallest one, and as someone deathly afraid of heights, it was quite similar to your experience on that bridge, and once again the view on top was breathtaking. To this day, I still think of that time fondly. It was great to hear this story of yours :) you and your father must have shared a very strong connection
