Good post Keeperseeker,That puts things in perspective.
I cant tell you how many family get togethers I have missed because of fishing.If the tide was right and there were fish to be caught,I was there at the water.I have missed weddings,funerals,birthday parties etc..etc..etc..My family would not even bother to ask where I was anymore,they knew!! What kills me though is that they never missed anything that was for me..Talk about feeling like a #^&#^&#^&#^&heel!!!
And im not talking about distant relatives here,Im talking about first cousins ,aunts and uncles,you name it!! I used to tell everyone not plan any event between april and november!! Because I could not commit to being there!! I know thats sick!! But its true,I have been on the "outs" with my mom and dad more times than I can count because I blew family off to fish.
John Has seen a taste of that with me since he met me but, if he had known me a few years earlier he would have seen a real jerk!!
My family has always been there for me and when they would ask me to do the simpilist of things like show some respect at a wake or wedding I would be a no show!! All because of fishing!!
The fish will always be there! There is always another night.
