What a blessing that John's life journey brought him through my life. Our friends had so much fun helping plan the great fishing adventure for Phil & John as they journeyed South with stops in Bama, Mississippi, Houston, Corpus Christi and even a storybook Christmas on Lake Falcon. Those who helped plan each new day of surprises were like little kids anxiously waiting on someone to open the next gift.
John made lots of new friends, got loads of cool fishing toys, fished legendary bass waters with generous guides and gained a huge fan base who begged for the chance to help fulfill his dream of fishing the South. My favorite part was the few days they spent in my home...and sitting up at night as he and Phil relived that day's fishing experiences.
It’s good to be reminded from time to time of our own mortality…otherwise we tend to get engulfed in the urgency of the moment and lose sight of the things that really matter….the things that last beyond this life.
Thanks for raising such a fine young man. He made his mark on many folks down South. On my desk stands a framed photo of Phil & John each holding a nice Falcon Lake bass. It brings a new smile every time I see it.
God bless you!
