Take the time in the Golden years.

As me, my uncle, and my Dad pulled up to the ramp. I thought about my father as he took his time to get into the boat and I remembered to have patience with him. I thought... be glad he is still able to go fishing with you, I looked forward to seeing him set the hook, and catch one of the biggest fish of the day. How glad I was that he would be apart of two great days in a-row fishing with me. You know there will be a time when I won't have that time and there may be a time when I look at the back boat seat and I will never get to see my Dad fishing with me agian. So I cherish every trip with him and all the great memory's over the years. And when and if that time ever comes...I will still be able to look back and still see him sitting there with a crappie smile on his face, the pole bent over and hear his voice... "That's a good one Son", until I too leave this Great Sport we call Crappie Fishing. Love Ya Pops...When you look around you can find allot to be Thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.

To all Sons and Daughters...Make the memories, Take the time in the Golden years...be there for them, be kind, and show them your love with Actions...In the end you will be glad you did.

Thanks for your comments... and I hope this post inspires you to maybe go fishing with your parents... or do the things you both love to do. Thanks Guys.

Tell your Dad he is the luckiest man in the world. Not for catching a big fish, but to have a son that would have these thoughts and go the extra mile and share them on this day of thanks. Good fishing to you and your family. Thanks Tenncrappie

Amen. I lost my Dad in 2002. We fished at least 3 days a week. it was 3 years before I could go again. I would give everything I own...Just to take him one more time. KS-10
