Gone Fishing

I used tell everybody that I had Gone Fishing when ever I decided to disappear. The truth is my life has become more difficult than I ever wanted it to be. This little stream reminds me of the places I used to go fishing or hide. I could sit for hours not worrying about a thing and never seeing another living soul. At that time I also didn't have any children. I worry about them always because I never get to see them everyday. I took my son and my brother to a place much like this to share with them what nature has given us to enjoy. While my bro and I were telling each other how to tie a hook on the line, my young son found a rusty old hook a piece of string and some old discarded bait and put them together. While were still discussing our abundance of fishing knowledge, my son pulled out this little tiny trout from the stream. He started jumping around all excited. We just cracked up laughing and we wondered who was going to tell him he couldn't keep it. The next thing we know, he was gently removing the hook and talking to the little fish saying he was sorry he bothered him. He put it back in the water and waved good bye. I was very proud of how he already understood nature. My bro and I never caught anything, but we were happy we didn't that day. We all just sat back and enjoyed the day. I'll never forget that day I had Gone Fishing. Peace Be With You.

WtMU,
