sad loss

[NEWKID 27,143]

My closest friend, the man who first took me out with a dog when I was only 6 died last week, it was his funeral on thurs he was only 56. It made me realise how much I owe him he taught me to hunt and fish and every weekend ( and some school nights) were the best times ever. He would pick me up on a friday night to go lamping then saturday and sunday we would ferret or fish. I managed to get out for a day with him a couple of months ago I took him ferreting with my brother and my son, who's 5. He was by then quite ill and i had that horrible feeling that may have been my last time out with him. Although I offered him out a few more times it was obvious he was'nt up to it. I aim to give my son the same as he gave me, time, not many people ever offer you the amount of time he gave me and for that I am forever grateful. He's severey missed already.

Experience counts for everything, you can't buy it. But someone who has it can share it, sounds like this guy did that for you. Good story and i'm sorry for your loss.

You do him honour.
