Frank looked at us and said, ''My Dad was a fisherman. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas（帆布）, foul（难闻的）-weather coat. No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.''

His voice dropped a bit. ''When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had an old truck which was older than he was. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he drove toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!''

He paused and then went on, ''I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, 'No, Dad. I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.''

''My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out the windshield (挡风玻璃). 'You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy....a man. I won't kiss you anymore.''

Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. ''It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet（舰队） stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift （漂浮的）with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a gale (狂风) and was trying to save the nets and the floats.''
