Here goes
I am a member of Team57, aka fishingnetwork.net. Now, read on before you think this i a boring "I caught a big fish and it got away" story.

Today, the guy that runs the website sent me a private message:

"Hey, this might be a stupid question, but I was talking to a friend in the UK last night who was talking about his friend who had passed away, and her daughter lives in California and loves to fish. This is just too much of a coincidence, but what was your moms name?"

Naturally I responded with mums name. We both agreed it was rather weird, but it turns out that the other lady's name was Denise.....

About 2 hours later, I got another PM from Dana, and it absolutely fricking blew me away. He basically said he had to tell a little white lie to get mums name out of me......and this is the reason why:

The Nice Thing That Was Done

I spent most of the afternoon in tears, stunned and shocked that a fishing friend opted to include my mum in this. Nobody in my fishing team ever met my mum, and I feel blessed and special that she was included in this.

Love you mum, watch over us all at Legends III! :D
