The Fishing Trip That Healed My Father

Watercolor print of a fly fisherman in waders standing in a shaded stream, netting a trout, with sunlight breaking through the overhanging tree canopy. The print shows visible age wear and a softened color palette consistent with a vintage outdoor calendar print, hung in the family since 1957.

A faded print from 1957, a father’s exhaustion, and an impossible prayer answered in ten unhurried minutes. This is the story of how God showed up exactly when my father needed Him most.
