A diabolical plot to send me into old age penniless! Reckon they will let me keep my knives at the county home?
For some reason this reminds me of a story I read a long time ago.
A man lay on his death bed, surrounded by his wife and children.
He called to his wife, and said to her, "Honey, I know that I haven't been a good husband. Whenever I had a day off I was fishing. After work I was
always in the basement, caring for my tackle, or busy planning my next trip.
Instead of spending any vacation time with you I was off somewhere in South America after Peacock Bass, or off the coast of Florida deep sea fishing. I have spent so much money on equipment and trips that should have been spent on you. I neglected our relationship for years. I realize that now. I know that it's way too late now, but I just want to say that I'm sorry."
Then he motioned for his two sons to come closer. "Guys, I have missed so much. I never was at your ball games or school activites. I should have been there for you when you were growing up, but I wasn't. I am so sorry. Please forgive me."
Then he lay back, breathing his last, closed his eyes, and broke into a contented smile. "I sure did catch a hell of a lot of fish, though!"
