1 Yr ago Today......
« on: June 01, 2007, 01:28:00 PM »
One Year Ago Today I Lost My Father. No I'm not posting this for Prayers. Just to let everyone to know that I'm not rembering the passing, but rather the good (though few) times. The Stories of Bow and Firearm Hunts Passed as well as the Fishing and Hunting Trips he and I shared. My Dad and I weren't close (living in different states most of my life had something to do with it), but we did enjoy the time we had. All I want from the TGang today is this. Hug and Tell Your Child or Parent how much You LOVE them. Spend just a few extra minutes with them. For You never know when that time will come to an end.....

That's why I posted this jonesy. Seems in this fast lane, money hungry world, we tend to forget what really is important. BTW Your more than Welcome...

Thanks for the reminder. I lost my Dad in '99 and I've wished many times things could have been better. I just try to make it better with my two little ones.

Bless you Brother!

Wise,Wise words Hog wild, the rugs of life can be yanked out from beneath out feet at anytime, and anyplace,leaving us flat on our backs gasping for air, there are no second chances, and no guarantees of tomorrow,,,, Have you hugged your kid today?

Thanks for reminding us to value what is truly important instead of getting caught up in the world. My Dad went home to be with the Lord this past Feb. The Lord used me to lead him to the saving Grace of Our Heavenly Father while he was in the hospital...only 3 days before his passing. This has made me appreciate the time He has given me and each day I try and show others how much I love them. It is a privilege to have been given this life and the opportunity to share the love God has shown me and I have to give to others.
