At -5 Below Zero

Sometimes the shortest stories say the most...

At -5 below Zero
When you hurt too much to drill through 17 inches of ice.
When you shake too much to thread the bobber;
that is when the roles of a father and son change.
Thank you, for taking me fishing son.

What a sweet tribute to your son and changing roles. How blessed you are to have a son who shares in your interests!

Hey Herm,

Those are the moments that let the Circle continue on...and they are wonderful. What a great way to start my day. After my surgeries, my daughter had to come hold me while I learned to walk again...same story you told, different context! It is love in its purest form...giving!

Thanks so much, I shall walk with a little pep in my step and a big smile, thanks...

Looks like you and your son had a fun bonding experience, even though you were freezing and shivering.... PLUS, you caught a big fish! Cool! :-)

At 65 with essential tremors It's hard to thread the bobber not to mention tie a hook. LOL
