A Matter of Perspective

The old man was alone. His wife had passed on recently, and his son was married, and had a family of his own. He had finally decided to clear out the attic.

As he sifted through the contents of an old trunk, he found one of his diaries from years gone by. Flipping through the pages he came across an entry: "Went fishing with Jimmy. Caught nothing. A wasted day."

A litte later he found one of Jimmy's diaries, and looked up the entry for the same day. Tears filled his eyes as he read: "Went fishing with my Dad. Best day ever of my life."
