New Challenges

Tomorrow I start my journey with a new company. This year has been very strange. My kids have taken priority over fishing. We watched several kids movies over the Thanksgiving break. Many dealt with people following their dreams. My daughter asked me what my dream was. I just sat there and for the longest time I couldn't answer. The fall back and obvious answer would be to be a full time fishing guide. That image in my head was transparent with the true dreams I now desire. The real answer is now my dreams are my children's dreams. It took me a while to realize it but now all I want to do as a father is do what I can so my children's dreams and wishes come true. I have always loved challenges and parenthood has challenged me physically and mentally in more ways than I ever could have imagined.

  1. It takes a real man to put his family before himself. The world would be a much better place if more men followed suit.

  3. What a great way to feel Kevin. When you have kids, that's what it's all about. Too bad not all mothers or fathers figure that out. Have a joyous holiday season with your family.

  5. Very well said, Kevin. I'm not there, yet, but I'm sure I will have that same mindset with my children. I know that my family has/had the same for me growing up, and I am ever thankful for them for supporting any and everything I ever did.

  6. Kevin, everyone else has pretty much covered the fact that what you are going through is the maturation of being a great father. Keep it up................ Those bonds and memories will last forever and nothing is more satisfactory than to have your children one day say, "Thanks, Dad"!

  7. Awesome, Kevin! Well done! You've come to that revelation a lot sooner than I did, as a parent! All the best, in your quest.
