Delw Report post Posted June 22, 2020 Heres one of Dad and I fishing for Wahoo in chi chi jima Japan in 1963. he was stationed there for a few years. dad passed away in 2010.(20+ years in Navy) one thing My Father always did was make sure when he went hunting, Fishing, camping scouting etc was to ask if I wanted to go no matter how many times I disappointed him or I was mad at him for this or that. Loved him for that and did the same thing with all 3 of my kids. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted June 22, 2020 Delw, As parents we do our best to pay it forward and out of love we do our darnest to be protector, provider and role model. As a kid growing up in the 50's life was pretty idyllic, guess I took it for granted and probably disappointed my dad more than once. We can't change the past. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
