I wish you healing and you were very fortunate to have him in your life.

My son has a stepdaughter and I hope someday she feels the same about him. 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.

It’s tough my step dad’s birthday was yesterday along with my daughter. Dad was the best guy I knew. Lost him in September of 21. 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.

Sorry for your loss, I was 24 when my Dad passed. Would love to hear his voice again. I told my students to start recording there parents, grandparents siblings etc. They will forget there voice and the stories.

So awesome that he was there for you when you needed him. Hunting, fishing and trapping can bond people and make us better, like nothing else can. I hope someone reading this will choose to make a difference in the life of a child.

That's one of the best tributes I've ever seen. Looks like your step-father taught you another lesson....how to share your love with others. I'm sure he's very proud of you too!

You appreciate having had him in your life, that's the best relationship. We're all gonna go at some point. It's what we do for, and with the people we care about when we're here, that matters and is remembered.
