Dustin Fishing

42 Comments

1. I once went through my child’s school papers and came across a question and answer sheet he had filled out. His teacher asked: “What was the proudest moment in his life?” His answer was: “When I caught my first fish.” His father often took him fishing. I don’t have any photos of their fishing trips. If only I had known that moment was so special. I would have told my husband to take a camera.

2. Such a precious memory! Happy memories are some of our most valuable possessions.

16. That is an amazing moment Carol.

    I remember the first time I went fishing with my grandfather. It is a moment I will never forget. I love the look on his face.

    • So glad I captured it Doc. Those moments are always with me now, as yours are. Dustin was serious even at a young age about his fishing.

      • my grandfather taught me what to look for, to watch the surface and to pay attention. But he mostly taught me to breathe!

        • My Grandmother was my inspiration. She taught me and Dustin everything about life.

          • It is the most important thing – grandparents don’t have the hassle of day to day life to teach!!!

17. That is a most adorable photo, Carol, I am glad you have these memories. I have a bunch of home videos that I should look through but I am scared about what I will feel when I see my late husband and hear this voice, Silly, isn’t it? Being afraid of videos.

    • Thanks, one of my many favorites. I have it in color in a frame closely. He was so proud. I understand but oh my goodness what I would give to have a video of my son’s voice. IT is not silly at all. You move at your own pace my friend.

    • It’s that kind of person you are that makes you so special here on Virily Sandra, you should be brave, just like dear Carol is, and start sharing him with others here who care deeply for you both. your husband is your dearest friend as is Dustin to Carol, the ones who care for both of you would consider it an honor, well, I would anyhow…
