Dan S,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Strange how you can be facing the most devastating problems of your life but being out on the river will give you peace of mind and allow you to forget everything.

I'm new here and your post hit so close to home that I had to join and reply. This looks like an excellent forum and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.

People don't understand how I can fish all day and not be upset if I get skunked (something I'm used to), if I let myself get mad over fishing though, it defeats my purpose of being out there in the first place.
