If there’s anything that life teaches us it’s that experiences are far more precious than things.   The latest, coolest whatever always ends up worn out, out-dated, superseded or just plain forgotten.  But a memorable event seems to somehow become more significant and more valuable with every passing year.   That’s why I’m so honored when someone chooses a day of fishing with me as a gift for a loved one.  This dad did just that for his son’s birthday yesterday.   I think the picture above tells it all.
