Lost my hunting buddy
« on: January 04, 2010, 07:46:00 PM »
I know this isnt a traditional related subject. But friday morning Jan. 1st I lost my youngest son 11 yr old Daniel Dean Cosgrove in a house fire. He loved to frog hunt with his little recurve and was better at it than me. He spent the night with a friend at his friends grandmothers house. My son, his friend, his friends sister, her boyfriend and there 4 month old baby all lost there lives. And although he hadnt quite gained the ranking of a bow hunter he was well on his way. I'm really going to miss my little buddy he was taken from me way to early. Would all of you tradgangers with kids or grandkids please remember to tell them every day how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Because we are not guaranteed tomorrow with them and take them to enjoy the outdoors as much as you can. God bless

All I can say is I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine the pain you must be going through, Gunther is my world and without him I'd be completely lost.

I pray that God comforts your family. You say that Daniel hunted frogs with the bow and was good at it; he was a bowhunter. In his heart he was a bowhunter, and I'm quite sure everyone here considers Daniel a bowhunter as well. Your son will be with you on your future hunts as well. Again my condolences Sir. Jim

My greatest fear is losing either one of my kids.  Thanks for the reminder to hug them.  I try to tell them I love them every night before bed, especially on the days we squable.  I don't want to even imagine what you are going through, my prayers are with you and your family.
