Holidays are tough........

[growalot]

This is for anyone cruising the sight that for what ever reason.....your going through rough times....I understand that the Holidays can make what ever pain your going though a thousand times worse...but please please don't go to those dark recesses of your mind....try to connect with the courage that we all carry in our guts and reach out for a caring hand to hold.....They are out there believe me......For every bit of darkness there really is a bit of light...you have to give your self TIME to see it...we all count in this world....every moment we spend here makes a difference to someone....EVEN if it's just the person you held a door for...or took the time to smile at...there are truly no small moments in life for every thing has a ripple....make them all good ripples in this pond we call life....God Bless

It absolutely helps... it gives a glimmer of hope sometimes to a seemingly hopeless situation... hope is what keeps us all going during the rough times.

I buried my 89 y/o father 2 days ago, I can't wait for Christmas it'll be good to see happy smiling kids !

Perhaps next year I'll knock one down with his old rem. mod. 11.

Sorry to hear that Larry...but keep going! I think that your gonna get a slammer with that old model 11. Dad will be looking down on you! My Condolences!

[Deerthug]

Sorry for your loss Larry.. the silver lining there is that he had 89 years on this earth.. that is something... lots of years of memories that wil last forever.. I'm sure his spirit will fill everyone on Christmas Day.. making it a very special Christmas.

Hope you kill one with his gun, I got my first deer with my Grandpa's old Ithaca model 900 this year, it was the most special deer I think I have ever killed. He's been gone since 2006, I've been trying with it ever since.

Larry, hang in there! It will get better over time. I'll bet he's proud of you. You seem to be one of the better hunters on here, (better than me)LOL!

Thanks Elmer. I think I'm an average hunter with a good spot and lots of free time, two of the biggest factors imho.

And a poor skills whens it come to the written word ....

Sorry for your loss Larry. Sounds like your Dad had a long fulfilling life though. Have a Merry Christmas, and keep your chin up!
