My Dad is gone

Post by VixChix »

I haven't been out hunting yet this year is because me Dad was losing his battle with cancer and I've been spending extra time with my parents. Dad got his wish to stay at home until the end. Early this morning he went to be with his Lord. We're grateful that he didn't have much pain and that he died so peacefully.

Dad always treated me the same as my brothers. He taught me to fish, taught me to change a tire before he taught me to drive, he taught me right from wrong, and he led by example. He took every opportunity to point out the beauty of creation that surrounded us, and he taught us to thank God for it. He had a wonderful sense of humour and we laughed together often. He left me with a life time of precious memories.... I have been blessed!

I look forward to being alone in a blind soon, spending time thinking about how my Dad's influence led me into the fields and forests that I love so much. :D

Sorry for your loss. I lost my grandfather this year and it's different to not be able to tell him about the hunts. Everytime I go out though I take something of his with me just so he's still part of the sport he enjoyed so much.
