I stand alone

I stand alone watching over the lake that held so many memories for me, one of my favorite memories is when my father took me out on his boat for the first time.

To teach me how to fish and how no matter how many times I messed up, he told me to keep trying and I will catch something eventually.

We were out there on that boat for most of the afternoon and right as we were getting ready to pack up and call it a day I caught my first fish and even though he was kind of small and we threw him back in the end.

I’ll truly never forget that day with my dad or how that lake played a big part in my life.
