Lots of Fish in the Sea

Submitted by: Connie Dyson
35 Views | 3 Likes

I was about 16 or 17 when me and this boy were on the "outs." My grandmother, Flora Dyson of Batteau, Labrador, was visiting and I came home upset. My Nan, through all her years of experience and wisdom, tried to comfort me by saying, "Oh Connie there are lots fish in the sea and one might even come to your hook!" I remember thinking, "Wow Nan how profound, what good does that do me?!" My heart was broken and I was sure that this boy was the ONLY one for me! (In a VERY teenage, attitudinal kinda way). Funny thing is, that bit of advice stuck. I ended up sharing this with Richard years ago (BIG MISTAKE!) because today out of the blue he sends me this picture with the caption "lots of fish in the sea," and here I am holding a sculpin! A friend of mine was in the office with us, and Richard asks if I checked my hotmail account today, and I hadn't up until that point. So all three of us are there chatting and this picture and caption came on my screen. Both him and Jacqui begin laughing. Richard was laughing the hardest until I said "You know you are the sculpin right!?" He stopped suddenly and said "Oh...not so funny now!”   Submitted By: Connie Dyson
