Do you love big bluegill?
For the love of life
I've just gotten out of the hospital after three weeks with pancreatitis and a staff infection. I was in critical condition for three days and the only things that kept me hanging on was the thought of my family and fishing. I kept telling myself that I haven't spent enough time with my grandchildren and I haven't caught enough panfish. I realized how quickly life can be taken away and I was being too stingy to give up the things that I love. Fortunantly there is no sign of cancer and the outlook seems clear. Don't want to sound morbid by sending out a post like this but the love of family and personal persuits should be important to every one. Thanks for bearing with me. Nick
