Gone Fishing

On Father's Day 2004, The Boy presented his dad with a children's book of the above named title for a gift. It's about a little boy and his big daddy that go fishing and bring back fish for momma to see.

At the time there was no way to know how much The Boy would come to love fishing, or that it would become a Father's Day tradition for the two of them to head down to the river to drown a worm.

Inside the front cover of that book I wrote "Happy Father's Day 2004! With love," and The Boy scribbled his name in a two year old's chicken scratch.

Some time later, The Boy took this book out for his bedtime story. When I opened the front cover he exclaimed, "Hey! Somebody wrote my name in here!"
