Scott,
I'm devastated in one way to read this befalling you at your young age!
Knowing your Faith and courage, in another way, I KNOW you will lean on your faith and come thru this well. God won't bring you to it and then, not thru it!
Elk hunting is a grand goal...and may still happen, but pales by comparison to being a part of the greater plan to be with that wonderful family for many years to come, guiding those young boys as they grow and standing by that lovely wife!
You will be in my constant prayer. Please keep us all updated.
Keep the Son in your eyes, Scott!
