Enjoy your kids

[54]

Just had my last hunt with my son . It will be a long time before we have another off to the USMC. Looks like it's back to me

My son just turned 16 and no longer "needs" his dad to tag along. Truer words have never been spoken "enjoy your kids" while you can. By the way tell your son be safe and THANKS from me!!

I have always enjoyed hunting with my dad. It finally has gotten to where I get him to go with me instead of the other way around. We finally have him duck hunting now which is quite an adventure. Now that I have moved away from home and have gotten married, I cherish the time I do get to be able to go on hunts with him.

Prayers sent for your son for a safe return home.
My brother is actually picking up a buddy of ours right now from the airport that has come home on a short leave.

God bless him and your family at Christmas.....

I know what you mean.....As I got older....I "needed" my Grandpa less and less....never realized that as he got older, he "needed" me more and more....Man, what I would give to hug him one more time...There are so many things that I would apologize for...I love him to this day and no one will ever take his place in my heart....

I was just one of those know it all dumb sob's that we call our kids....Wish I could do it all over again....It would be different....

God's Blessings to your son; please thank him for his service to our country.

I can empathize with your feelings on losing your hunting partner; I have 3 daughters and they all love to duck hunt (espescially at our camp in the Delta).

My oldest daughter and I have been planning for 6 month to come over and hunt for 8-10 days after Christmas, but she told me Wednesday that she would like to return home early to attend a New Year's Eve party. Now I've got to compete against the high school social scene as well as her ballet studio to spend time in a pit blind with her.
