Just Not Right
« on: July 23, 2009, 10:26:00 PM »
Just four weeks ago from this Sunday I lost my younger bother and my hunting Partner to panc cancer.  HE was only 44 years old. Now today this morning I lost my father to the same thing.  He has been fughting panc cancer for 18 months.  It just doesn't seem right.  Only a 2% survial rate over 2 years.  My brother was only 2 months and 3 days from when they told him.  I was having a hard time sleeping before now it will be even worst. I don't know what Hunting season will be like this year. The woods will seem lonely.

Few of us can feel the pain you are feeling now. We can however pray for your peace and encourage you to draw closer to your Lord and Savior in these troubled times.
God's speed to you.

I'm not much of a prayer, I do however have a spiritual side that believes they will be with you in the woods perhaps more than ever.

Thank You All. My dad was doing good but after we were told in april that my brother had it my dad just seemed to lose something and once my brother past away we just saw the life go out of him.  We tried to keep the grandkids around him but that worked while they where there, but when we would leave he would be worst. I know they are both in a better place but the lose here really hurt.

My father passed away 2 years ago on Oct 10. He had kidney cancer that spread throughout his intire body. It was a terrible summer and a worse hunting season. As a young boy we hunted all over the country. As he got older he wasn't able to get around as much and it really slowed our hunting trips down. We had an auto repair business together for 20 years. I miss him every day and it really hits home during hunting season. BUT, I try to reflect on all the great times we shared in the woods and I know that he would be upset if I moped around and didn't continue the love of hunting that we shared. Just hang in there and thank God for all the wonderfull times that you shared with your dad and brother. Thats what I'm sure that they would have wanted from you.

Keep the faith, stay strong brother. Had similar happenings as well. On the anniversary's of each one's passing. Take those days from now on, and spend it with your kids out in the woods or wherever the best times ya'll had together were. Tell your favorite stories about them, celebrate the memories of them. Make it a type of tribute or memorial each year. I lost my Dad during hunting season 07", Thanksgiving weekend. I made myself go hunting afterwards in the season even though my heart wasn't in it. But, I actually felt closer to him there up in the tree than anywhere. I will pray for you and your family. God's speed to you all.

I'm sorry.  You've had a rough go of it lately.  Remember that they loved you as much as you loved them. I imagine they'd want you out there again this hunting season, even if you just took your bow for a walk.  Remembering hurts, but it's a lot better than not having anything to remember them by.

Keep your spirits up even though your heart is down.
