I've spent most of the last 30+ years hunting & fishing and have taken great pride in that.

All of my accomplishments pale when I am able to see my son succeed at those things that I have such a passion for.
When he succeeds it is a huge accomplishment for me.

Caught some nice fish, taken some nice animals, but in the grand scheme of life those hobbies are less important than relationships with family.

I only hope I can teach my son to be a good human being and to be there for him if he needs me.

When I'm on my deathbed all of the fish & wildlife trophies will be unimportant.

Having my son there to hold my hand and tell me I was a good dad is all I could wish for.
