Re-connected with my nephew

[tufftom4]

Lets start many years ago when I used to take my nephew fishing all the time with both of my brothers then my one brother got a divorce and his ex took my nephew to Jacksonville fl when he was 13. Present day my nephew is 31 married and has a daughter so work sent me to St Augustine for the week and I was able to contact my nephew who I have not seen since he was 13 and we met and had a long hug and I met his wife and daughter for the first time. We talked forever and it all came back to fishing and he has always wanted to fish lake Okeechobee and so do I, so now is my dilemma do I take my vaca and go to Vogel or take my rv and go to a fish camp with my nephew on lake "O".

Given the choice between two families, this one and your nephew, in this case, I'd have to go with the blood connecton.

 

Maybe it's just me but that connection is one I'd want to work on.

I agree with Snaggletooth, spend time with the nephew. My husband and I will probably go visit my niece that I haven't seen since abt 1995 on the way to Vogel. I was abt 21 at the time and she's 18 mons older than me. My great nephew is going to be 21 this yr and I haven't seen him since he was a toddler. Goina be interesting if we can pull this off.

My rule of thumb is family first....

 

Although, why can't you do both? a couple of weekends at the lake are doable?

never put off family, life takes many turns and you nor your nephew should have any regrets. That family is the most important thing is also an awesome gift to pass along, priceless
