My Dad is now 80 and has been in a hospital for almost 4 weeks battling bladder cancer. He and my Grandfathers were solely responsible for my love of fishing and the outdoors.
My dad is 86 going camping with me for the 4th. Still pulls his 5 th wheel and gets around good. He taught me how to hunt and fish and I can't get him to go. He told me he always hated hunting and fishing but did it for us boys. I am thankful everyday

Yes sir, been a long time since Feb.12 2012 .
BTW.. If you know an old goat over 65 or so....it doesn't hurt to take him also...
Can't remember ever fishing with my dad, he's still Ali e but he chose not to be a part of our lives over 45 years ago, I envy you guys when you are posting pics of your dad. I try hard to spend as much time with Ree as I can and cherish every moment.
Great post Knightshadow! I feel you man!
I'm sure it's ruff on ya ! mine passed away when I was only 4 months olds Been over 43 yr ago but my grandpa and uncles always filled those shoes that were left empty .so thanks to all you grand dads and uncles that take the time out for your grandkids and nephews and neices. :HandsClapping:HandsClapping
Yep, wish I didn't have to be this old before I finally figured it out.
I can thank my dad for the first 14 years he was around and introduced me a my brothers to fishing and hunting. Seem liked after my parents divorced (when I was 8) he stuck in for a few more years, but when the tough got going, he just was gone. I credit my mom for everything else besides the hunting and fishing, believe me she had the tougher job with 3 boys. So yes like Rees said, you guys were and some still are lucky to have those memories of fishing with your dad after your all grown up. My mom don't care for fishing, so I do the things she likes, so yes spend time with your dad or mom as much as you can.. and it don't have to be fishing although that's a good a time as any [emoji3]

Wannabe..
Dad taught me to hunt and am proud of that. I only got to fish with him twice and it was great. Wish it could have ben a bunch moore. Still miss him a lot.
Wannabe.. I was looking thru the home page yesterday morning and came across your story about Billy and the Kid, I started reading it yesterday morning and just completed it this morning. All I can say is WOW, you sure have some talent for writing and it was a great tribute to your fathers memory. I was glued to the story and cringed every time the phone rang, or I received a text or email. Lol, it probably cost me a few hundred dollars in missed service calls, but it was well worth it. For anyone who hasn't read this you don't know what your missing. I was trying to think of any Savages I remember from Grenada and the one that instantly stuck out in my cob webs of memory was a Mrs. Savage who was the warden over the in school suspension at Grenada Junior High, any relation to you? Again, thank you for the time and passion you put into that great story.. :HandsClappingQuote:
