There is a lot of negative related to the failure of my marriage. But, one of the positives is that I have had to emotionally lean on friends and family more than I ever have before. My relationships outside my marriage have never been deeper or stronger.
My Dad is 70. My brother, dad and I bought a fishing boat together about 4 years ago. In the prior 3 years, I think we went out a total of 4 times? It seems like life was just to busy to spend time fishing with my dad.
This summer, I have been out with him 6-8 times. I am closer to my dad than I have ever been. I can say the same thing about my MIL, Sister, friends from church, aunts, uncles, etc... People have reached out to me and shown me tremendous love.
Fishing is about spending time with my Dad, not about fish. Which is a good thing, because I am not a very good fisherman.
