RE: Ok, I thought I'd share. (Rememberance to my father)
I'm sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you and your family.
I lost my Dad St Pat's Day of 2004, of a heart attack, the day before he was scheduled for bypass surgery.
I still have a hard time watching tv/movies where a father passes. I think about him almost everyday. He wasn't much into the outdoors, but I think about the activities that we did together and cherish the memories. I think about the stuff that I wish we could do together, and the things that he didn't get to see. And hope he would be proud of my actions.
One of the last things I said to him was "I love you", which I'm thankful for. Ialso began a few traditions that I do in memory.

Muzzyman88, you have my condolescences. Your thread reminded me of my own father's passing, almost 8 years ago. My father and I did not have a really good relationship for quit a while, did not have hunting, like you with yours, and just started to grow closer when he passed. Treasure you time with all you care about, as you never know.

Muzzy, I think you put it into words just fine. You might not realize this either, but your dad obviously raised you to be a fine man. Your words say alotto those who will read them. Most "men" would never even think about writing their feeling and emotions down for everyone to read. I don't want to sound corny, but you've shown yourself to be a great son and a person of good character. Your dad lives on in you.
Its really hard to put into words

Muzzy...my thoughts are with you. I lost my Dad Oct. 11 2001. He was my hunting and fishing bud. He taught me everything. It is still VERY hard to take to the woods without him, but I still go because I know he would want me to.
I thank him "outloud" for every deer I've taken since he passed. I talk to Him alot while on stand. I think each season will get easier to hunt without him, but it may never happen for me. I hope that I still have the desire to hunt as my kids reach the legal hunting age. I'm hanging on for them. I hope I can be half the Man and Father my Dad was.
Take care.

Sorry about your Dad I kind of know what you feel like, I lost my brother 16 years ago due to sudden heart failure. He was my best friend and favorite hunting buddy. I am 39 years old and still mourn the brother that i lost. Seems you just remember the good times and forget the bad but in my case I can honestly say in the 22 years I had my brother we had nothing but good times. Again sorry about your loss.
