It's never good to lose our fishing buddy, but with a little imagination and luck they can still be right there beside us, rooting us on to catch the big one. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a six.

I really like this story as it shows the closeness of the bond between the boy and his grandfather, and this relationship endures after the grandfather's death. Your story is well written and clear, and I wish you every success in the contest.

I really liked the story accompanied by a picture made for it. I liked the warmth and tenderness exhibited in the dialogues between grandpa and the boy. He must be missing him. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
This is a well-told ghost story. I'm not a believer in ghosts myself, but I can tell that this boy really misses his grandfather, and whether the ghost is real or not, he's real to Petey. I wondered who "Old Sol" is.
You used a very good illustration.
I didn't find any errors.

I truly think Petey feels the presence of Gramps at their fishing site. Old Sol is just another name for the Sun. Many thanks for your kind praise of my story. Rod

Comment from lyenochka
Aww! That's a great story! I am curious now - did you find the picture first and then write the story? The picture is just so perfect for the story. It's wonderful when grandparents can connect that deeply with their grandkids. Best wishes in the contest!!

Comment from Jay Squires
This is a warm and touching story, Rod. I, as I'm sure the other readers of your story, enjoyed the way you incorporated the items in the picture with the story-line. You very deftly avoided the over-sentimentality that stories of this type can elicit. It's a fine line, but you didn't step over it, owing to your skills as a writer.
I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
