He does so much with her, and she loves to be with him doing things. It just makes my heart feel so good because she needs a father figure. Thanks for your story. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

He was always excited about anything outdoors related along with farming and cattle. Not many if any days go by without his memories. I know what you’re going through time will heal.
