To all of you who had moms who cleaned fish blood from your clothes, helped dig worms and loved us in spit of our addiciton to fishing. Give your mom a call and say thank.you. Mine is gone now, but on this day especially, I think of all she did for me and send
a silent prayer of thank you to her.

I hear you Dave. My mom has put up with some much crap the past 10 years it isn't funny. From getting egg goo all over the fridge and dye stains in various spots around the house, to hooks randomly laying on the floor, and helping me fund some of my fishing adventures. Don't know what I would do without her. You also gotta love eating out on mothers day. One of my favorite days of the year to gorge on food, had an awesome brunch this morning and having a huge steak tonight. Yummy!!!!

Wonderful thoughts. Besides all the times my Mom let me go wandering fishing from an early age of four, any Mom who could put up with a son who stored frozen muskrats in the family freezer when he didn't have time to skin them after running the trapline or coming into the bathroom to find a live muskrat swimming in the bathtub deserves a specail hug. Mine will have to be long distance today, but it will be full of love.
