Steve,
Great first boat catch for Michael. But, even happier seeing him in that flotation vest. Always bothers me to see all those bass boat boys flailing around and not a vest to be seen.
Nice looking fish!!! Tha’s a happy fisherman…
Always share, especially when it comes to safety and very precious bootie!
Great catch, great Kid, great Dad, great picture! 8T
Looks like a very Happy Fisherman
Great catch and great pic. Memories are what it’s all about. We won’t take our money or our stuff when we leave this life, but we’ll have our memories, and those left behind will have the same to remember us by.
My son’s name is Michael also, recently known as the “Kid” in my fishing reports and mgliss here on FAOL.
Keep on building those skills and memories and he’ll thank you forever and your legacy will pass on and live forever.
Kelly.
Kelly,
You are so right thank you!
Take care!
PS:
Thank you to all of you that have commented and viewed.
Raising fine children can be a real effort but all of my time
with my Son, I have been blessed having fun doing it.
My attitude is always what makes it so!
Attitude of love and caring, simple enough…
Of course there will be bumps, just part of life I suppose…
Steve, just don’t lose hope when those “bumps” are larger and longer than you expected. Always love them and they’ll always remain close - through all of it. Speaking from experience it’s not always easy and it would seem easier and right to tell them to take a hike, when all they really need is someone to keep them close and keep loving them, no matter what, no matter what…
Best Regards,
Kelly.
I understand and will always keep your words in the forefront , thank you so much…
Steve
Steve,
As my two boys got older (the terrible teenage years and all…) always had one hard and fast rule. If you get into trouble or whatever call me anytime day or night and I’ll come get you. And, we won’t get all hysterical and shouting and such. We’ll both take a break and talk about it later in the day or in the morning.
Had a few late night rescue calls and I was very thankful they were okay.
For sure GMT, thanks…
I am so glad I posted this thread, good stuff from great parents
sharing…
All the reinforcements means more than I can say here…
Take care!
Steve
