Sorry to hear about the financial challenges. Those suck for sure, but you did what needed done to make things work out. That sucks about your son, but at least noone was killed from his decision and you still have him and others still have their loved ones as well. Lesson learned the hard way there sadly.

Good stuff about reuniting with family, especially after so many years. What great memories, we all should be able to enjoy such things during the holidays.

NO worries on the fishing, I have missed out on fishing all year, but hoping to get some done this spring. Hope you enjoy the new year and catch lots of fish.
