A project for my friend

[papabear!]

Dear Friends, Built this today for my life long friend and rabbit hunting partner. My friend is dying from a rare and very aggressive cancer. He also has a bum knee and is now confined to a wheel chair. He has been house bound for the last two weeks and is itching to get outdoors. Regards

Bravo to you bobshaut for helping our your friend in his time of need.  In my circle of friends, that is something that Family does for another.  Thoughts and prayers being sent.  God Bless!

Nice job, bobshaut.  Much appreciated I'm sure. Family isn't always related by blood, and I can see that your buddy has great family.  Wishing you both the very best.

Karma to you.

Hopefully it isn't so aggressive that he can't get out rabbit hunting with maybe a 4-wheeler or snow machine?

Prayers to your friend & his family.

If he is able, ask him if he would like to join us here. Rabbit hunting is one of my most favorite things to do...

Dear Friends, Thank you on behalf of my friend for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. They are much appreciated......crazy thing is I watched his dad, (also a good friend) die of cancer nearly 20 years ago. He too got to a point where he couldn't get around very good and I would go to his home, help him into my car and haul him to the beagle club, so he could roll down the window and listen to the hounds run, I truly believe it brought him comfort. These two friends were responsible for getting me involved in rabbit hunting with beagles when I was about 12 or 13 years old. They taught me the in's and outs of rabbit hunting with beagles and fueled the life long passion I have for the sport... that was 40 yrs ago.

Regards

I have a similar story. While my friend is alive and well his father died suddenly of a massive heart attack in 1991. He and his father got me started in the outdoor life when I was about the same age as you mentioned. We started in Boy scouts in about 1979, my buddy and I became fast and best friends, that friendship has endured for 35 years now. His dad was a scout leader and one of the finest and wisest gentleman I have ever known, I still think of him most every day and when confronted with a problem wonder what he would do, I am also aware he would kick my ass for some of the stupid crap I have done since he has been gone.

Even after my buddy went off to college I hunted and fished with his pop very regularly. He was there when I got my first deer back in about 1986. I was still around their house even after high school and was often invited for dinners when fish or game was on the menu. Those were times I will never forget. His mother is now in her 80's and I visit with her as often as I can; she is great as well!

My own Dad is great as well we just never had too much in the way of common interests and I was not smart enough to listen to him most of the time.
