Five years since my Pops passed on. Sure miss the guy.
Every now and then, I think about things forgetting he is not physically present.
Example:
I was not able to get out much last deer season. I thought I was going to get skunked.
On the last day of gun season I was blessed with a buck that walked out of a tree line on the opposite side of a field I was hunting. I estimate it to be the longest shot I've taken on an Indiana deer. That, along with the good chance of going scratch had my adrenaline pumping like a boy on one of his early hunts.
I pressed a round and the buck kicked up on his rear legs like a fighting stallion. I saw him take flight back into the woods.....and drop about 30 feet in. In that moment, what went through my mind was "Wait until I tell Dad about this......". followed by, "damn". No doubt he knows any how.
I am one of what seems to be an increasingly rare group. A man who was raised by a great Dad along with a great Mom that taught me the value of things that may seem intangible in the short run...and are invaluable in the long.
Thanks for all you did and continue to do, Dad.
