I absolutely love this. Not sure if that's what you intended, but it made me think of someone I lost and imagine interacting with them just like that. As if they're almost there.
Felt very much the same! Like someone saying "I love you, I see you" in a mystical way from beyond. It doesn't even need words and is even better without.
“Staring out into the water, I called out again. Had I not been desperate for a response, the silence would have been beautiful; the water lapping on the shore, the gravel mixing beneath my feet. Still, no answer.”
"My father’s strong wrist, the hair on his arm gold from the sun, his muscles releasing as he let go, his stone skipping gracefully over the water." what a beautiful and clear succession of images. I saw these so vividly. please continue to write fiction. it makes me happy to know that you had fun writing this

Knowing how you came up with this short story, the combination of those two images here is so moving. What a beautiful analogy for healing.
