I had always loved going fishing on my grandparent’s boat. In the summer Nana, Papa, and I would drive to Seward and go out on small boat trips for three or four days. I would never actually fish, being that I had just turned 6 years old. Instead I used my little, pink plastic fishing pole with an orange fish attached to the end.

It was in the beginning of June when I asked my grandparents if I could fish just like them. My Papa agreed, however I would need his help along the way. We stopped by a small coffee house and Nana ordered me a hot chocolate. When we finished, we hopped in their silver truck and went out on the highway. I looked out the car window only to see some raindrops rolling down the window. The raindrops looked as if they were having a race to the bottom of the car window.

Being so young, I started to get impatient. My grandparents said I should sing a song to the fish. My Papa started to sing something like, “Here fishy fishy”. Surprisingly, that didn’t

This event took place when I was about eight years old while I was spending the weekend at my grandma’s house. I was old enough to play in the backyard without constant supervision, and trusted enough to keep an eye on my younger cousin, who was barely more than a toddler at the time. She and I were spending the afternoon sitting on the small wooden bridge over the shallow ditch, scooping snails and minnows out of the mucky water with a miniature insect net and
