My first love

So there are many people who will not enjoy my first post, especially my wife, but I have to say fishing has always been my true love. I don't ever remember a time when fishing was not the priority in my life until recently, then over the weekend I discovered something magical. I had a graduation party for my niece at my mother in laws house, she has a nice farm pond that is well stocked and under fished. My mom and her husband were there and he brought his daughter and his three grandsons. I had been fishing off and on all morning, then the boys asked if I would take them to the pond. I do not believe I have ever seen such excitement from catching a bluegill as I saw in those young boys. I did not fish the rest of the day as I spent my time going form one to the other baiting hooks, removing fish and taking pictures, I have to say it was the best day of fishing I can remember in a very long time.Lately the depression of turning 40, getting news that I will be losing my job in the next few months and realizing my house is too much for the wife and I to be able to keep up with has really been hard on me and I know it has really been hard for my lovely wife. I guess I forgot there was more to life than a bank account and nice things. Last Saturday was the most amazing thing I have experienced in many years. We are not able to have children due to my previous bout of cancer, I have always been OK with that and tried to find solace in the fact that I had survived. I have been giving it a lot of thought and realized how depressed I have been over the last few years, I also realized it has been my selfishness that is the root of my depression. I am gong to fish my through my depression and come out the other side much happier!
