As I reported on another thread my week trip to the Penticton Senior Games,jack spring fishing trip on the Thompson and then onto the protest at Kelowna got cut short yesterday by a serious relapse in my dad's health.
I returned to Chilliwack and then to Langley to help care for him at his residence but late last night we had to take him to the Langley hospital.
Is is sad and difficult to see him slowly leaving his earthly home the last couple of days. It is also hard writing this on this forum but every story I wrote here I thought of him as I do now and what he taught me about the art of angling.
He however has lived a very good and rewarding life serving his country during the war, his province, his town and his family with much pride during his 89 years of life.
I of course deeply treasure the past including him introducing me to fishing at an early age, a passion he instilled in me and he so enjoyed for so many years himself.
The last few years when his age prevented him from activey fishing he always enjoyed hearing of every fishing adventure and telling countless stories of his own.
As well, reading about mine and others fishing trips on Fishing with Rod that I printed for him often, gave him much enjoyment.Thanks to all.
Thanks dad for everything and I am sure you soon will be looking down on me landing that big one in the days ahead.
I love you dad and for those that read this, give your love ones a extra hug tonight.
I will give a report on my Senior games and fishing trip with Gary on the Thompson for the jack springs at a later date.
