i keep a faded sheet of typing paper taped inside my closet door. my son typed this on 4-14-92 in typing class in 10th grade. the teacher was so touched she gave it to another teacher (my mother-in-law) and she gave it to me. the following really did happen i think Corry was about 3 years old at the time

A CHILDHOOD MEMORY

One day me and my dad got up to go fishing. I was so excited. When we got to the pond my dad always carried me, because I was to little to get through the tall weeds.When we got to the pond he would always get me my bait on the hook and get me set down so I could fish. Everytime I got hung up he would stop what he was doing and get me undone. sometimes I know he would get very frustrated at me, but he would never show his frustration. I always wanted to fish just like him and be like him. Then when we got through he would always carry me back on his shoulders. One day I finally noticed that he was sweating, so I said "Daddy your sweatin" and he said "it,s because I,m carring you" then I told him, Daddy, when I get big and you get small, I,ll carry you." He just laughed and went on.
Although that day has never come yet when i would be bigger than him, I would still would try to carry him today.

I get this faded old paper out from time to time and read it, i cant explain how it touches my heart. we still fish together 27 some odd years later and sometimes i still carry him lol!
but not to often

take your kids fishing!
