    There is another side to this. I started fishing with my Dad when I was four years old. We fished together until he died with lung cancer 32 years ago, which seeems like yesterday. Two weeks ago I was able to buy a boat he always dreamed of owning but could not afford. It is not a new one, just a boat that will serve me well for what time I have left to fish. I could not help to think what it would be like to have him with me now that I have the boat, time and money to take him places he never got to fish. Fathers must also be aware, if they have a son that likes to fish with their Dad, they too must realize their son(s) will miss them just as much. So Dad's that care of your health, live long and be thankful you have a children that love so much.

    Another side of these stories are the next generation, grandchildren. I'm now enjoying my 13 year old granddaughter and 10 month old grandson. I'm taking the oldest fishing and hunting now and have the youngest in the bull pen warming up if I can stick around that long. No stopping time, it goes faster every year it seems. Enjoy your family and friends while you can.
