Popular Post Rickshaw swami 4,191 Posted October 17, 2024 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 17, 2024 The hardest thing I've ever done was watching my daughter get married this past weekend.Im still crying.I taught her to catch crawdads when she was little. She had a natural talent for bowfishing. She loves to shark fish. She had always been my digging partner with terriers until one day she brought this boy along with us who is now my son in law. Feeling gutshot from losing my digging partner,fishing partner and daughter in the blink of an eye. Any of yall men with little girls,hug em and take em fishing while you can. 39 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
