one year

[gradywhite273]

one year , yes one year. One year since the doctor looked me dead in the eye and said Mr Turner , you had a major heart attack, one year since my last cigarette.

I remeber the post and the threads, the calls from people, the well wishes. I remember laying in the hospital bed and thinking, is it my time ? The scared look in my childrens eyes. Well luckily enough it wasn't .

Now this isn't about me, moreso its background for what im going to say today.

First, I want to thank admin for giving us this fine place we call sportfisherman.com, he strive endlessly to bring us the best in sportfishing entertainment. ( how come i see this ski jumper crashing after typing that)

I would like to thank the members, Just a couple that come to mind very quickly, Box, Pitch,Whitey, Deepc, Pino,GlennW, Baywolf, Gotta Fly etc , etc, you have taught much and brought great times and many laughs to this board.

People who have befriended me, Chuck and Mary, Coop, Jim Miner,Pro, Flat, Double D, Kobey, yes even Jimmy,Lucky Lady,Sterling, Seafood Paul 708 the list goes on and on.

people who i never have met, but would consider them a friend, The Greek Grouper Brothers, ( Biscuit and Slip, in case you weren't sure) Holawhatisupnow, Shoe,Capt Brian Daley,Capt D , Sikorski, the list goes on and on.

Ok turner , you are rambling, What is the Point,

Point is of all these people and everyone reading this, there is one piece of common ground, we all love to fish.

Lets use that to strengthen our relationships with friends and try to reach out to others using that common ground.

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN ONE YEAR.

Geez im gettin like flat.

Over the year you made amends. Sacrifices whom you are the key holder to the chest. Whether religious or spiritual, is does not matter. You made them otherwise. The new year is here and once again as you go through the list. Always keep that list close to your heart. Good luck in 2008. Other challenges await you in the deep blue.
