Dad saying, "Time to Rise and Shine" about 3am as we're heading out on some grand adventure.
My dad was a city boy so my grandpa took me fishing and hunting. I was the son he never had and he was the best friend a young boy could ever have wished for.
I miss grandpa coming in and playing reveille at 4am after making coffee for he and I before headed out to the fields, forests, rivers and bays. I decided where I wanted to go and grandpa took me.
My God I didn’t realize how great my life was until I got older. It was so simple, I had the world by the tail and not a care in the world. I’d get off the school bus and grandpa was waiting for me with a coke, an after school snack and a box of either 20ga shells or .22 shells for my after school starling hunts and crow safaris. My life back then feels like a dream today.
