Dad's in surgery now. I was with him till they rolled him. They have computers here in the surgical waiting area. I thought I'd ease my mind by dropping by.
Kinda ironic that the last thing he was saying was that there are some absolutely incredibly folks in the Trad community. He was talking about you guys, his support group. Some of you don't even know him and are calling and emailing and posting your support. He was quite comforted by your support! Dad named many of you by name as guys who have called and continue to call and lend an ear and give your support. You guys are awesome more than you know.
They say that like minded and like-hearted folks congregate together. I know this now more than ever. It's not hard to see. Look around you here and then go elsewhere to post. It doesn't take long to find the reason it's so comfortable to be here. No-one is alone here. You need help and 12,000 plus people drop what they are doing to give the shirt off their back. I'm not sure it's traditional archery that's created the type of people or instead that the type of people you are are the ones who gravitate to this sport and especially this site. I for one am glad to rub shoulders with such fine, giving, and heartfelt folks. I've started my next columns writing this morning. Those of you who read my column will certainly find some connections in the next article. You created the next one. I'm just putting it all in words. Thanks! CK
