Tribute and Karma **Result: Wrangler Rich

[Ματθιας]

It'll be three years in December that my dad died. He bravely battled cancer for eight years. He passed on his birthday. While I miss him, his passing means there's no more suffering and freedom from a body that was failing him.

I miss the watching football and basketball games with him and just hanging out talking, but as time goes on, it seems like my dad has become my guardian angel. He's still there and here's a comfort in that. - it's tough to explain - but I think some of you who have who were/are close to your dads understand what I'm trying to say...

I miss you, dad.

Time makes things a little better - not much - but a little.

I'd be honored if you'd add me to your list.

You were so blessed to grow up with your Dad. I lost mine in 1953, a month before my 10th birthday. I still miss him so much. Enjoy your memories.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

I'm sorry to hear about your father. Your love and admiration for him is evident, and this thread is a wonderful tribute to his memory; thank you for writing it. I'd be thrilled to win your copy of the book, so thank you for the chance!

We each only get one Dad, if we're lucky. Mines been gone for 29 years, & 27 days, and I miss him still. We're burying my Mother's brother tomorrow, so I know how you feel, and you have my most sincere condolences.

Your Dad had good taste in revolvers, and it's great that you have them to enjoy & pass on. Keep his memories alive with stories to your children about him and the things he loved and the way he thought. Seems like he did okay with you. ;-)

Hang in there, there's some tough times still to come, but it does get a little better with time. God Bless.

Great story....

Our memories help people that we have lost to live on..and on. Passing on knowledge is about the best thing a person can do.

I lost my Dad 51 years ago. We knew he was not long for this world, and I spent every waking hour possible with him. There are no father - son pics at the lodge for me.

I envy the time you had, and am happy that you could be close.

I'm not putting my name in the hat, as almost anyone here has more real use for the book than I do, and in a way I would hate to win it over them.

I don't desire the book, but thanks for the reminder that time is precious. I try and visit my dad every other summer for some sort of trip, hunting or fly fishing. My son, who lives in CO, is actually closer to my father than I ever was and that's a true blessing to all three of us. I can't imagine life without him...
