A shoal of mackerel glides by the vessel, their forms tracing a glinting silver trail through the sea, and I toss the line straight into their midst, eager to snag one, my pulse thumping with excitement. A phone buzzes in my coat's pocket.
It was our privilege for everyone who had the opportunity to know you and you will be greatly missed. Our thoughts go out to your family and all of your friends.
Rest in Peace, OD.
