Though we grew apart with age, I will never forget the old days fishing in the creek for bulkhead hunting frogs by the pond or the night we spent fishing by the river. We caught some big ones that night just to get robbed by morning by the guy down from us. Never telling our parents what really happened in fear they wouldn't let us go there again. I always remember a smile on your face & I know your smiling even know. Love you cousin. God bless.
