Dad
It's been a long time since we have been able to talk. There is a lot you have missed, and a lot that hasn't happened since you left. There isn't a day that you don't cross my mind.

Shark Attacks
According to the International Shark Attack File, there are less than 1000 attacks a year by sharks on humans and only between 10 and 15 of these results in death. To put this into perspective, 1,000 are killed by crocodiles, 1,500 by tigers, leopards and lions and 60,000 from being bitten by a snake. According to the Florida Museum of Natural History, people kill between 20 and 30 million sharks a year in sport and commercial fishing, putting some species of shark on the endangered list.

This is the time in life where the “terrible twos”, “the trying threes” and the “forgetful fours” find their place in the world.
