Except for the time we served in the Army, my brother and I have always been at a family Thanksgiving together. He died in a car crash this year and his wife was hurt pretty bad and even after three surgeries she cannot take care of herself and her son Jacob. They both live with my wife and I now. Jacob went with me to our family Montana deer camp this fall and I hoped it would help him deal with the tragedy. I believe it helped him a lot being around family and all the goings on at deer camp, but there were times you could tell he was hurting. In our spike camp he liked to tend the stove fire. My brother's dog seemed to sense Jacob's hurt and shadowed him. ![[Linked Image from i617.photobucket.com]](https://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/jackpine44/walltent2_zpshor0iyoc.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i617.photobucket.com]](https://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/jackpine44/walltent_zps8tdn5joh.jpg) Look forward to tomorrow with family members coming to our house for dinner.
You're Welcome At My Fire Anytime

I hate reading that, the holidays are going to be tough on the boy. Sounds like you are there for him.

I'm going to give thanks to God Almighty for America, for being an American, for our Patriot Forefathers and their sacrifices and for those of our fighting men, and for our freedom we have so unashamedly fritted away and for His forgiveness of and blessings upon this once Godly Nation and for the sacrifice of blood by Jesus Christ and his most precious gift of salvation through everlasting life for those of us who bow and ask for it and belief and for my mother and father and brother and sisters and our families and for being able to hunt and fish without hunger and with shelter and for the blessing of having a nation serving and God fearing Patriotic President and Donald Trumps family and others fighting to save our nation and for saving all His.
May God bless us all as our needs may be.

I'm driving into Fort Worth to pick up Mom, then head to my brother's house to visit with his family. I'm bringing some Down Home Hickory Smoked Sausage from Louisiana for my brother to put in his smoker (twice smoked?).

Roundoak, I just saw this thread and started reading it and came across this post. I am very sorry for your loss. A prayer has been sent for you and your family and especially for your nephew.

Roundoak, My heart goes out to you, your family, your sister in law, and especially Jacob. Tending that fire might have been just what he needed at that time. You're an excellent uncle to have taken him along. The boy gets an extra prayer from me tonight. condolences, Geno
