Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many on 24CF Miss their dad?

Of course. Forn in 1949 and died last year of service connected Parkinsons from exposure in Asha Valley 68'-69' defoliant agents.

While I may miss him there's no regrets. I moved in with him and my mom the last 5 years of his life and was part of his care taker. I bought him a couple UTVs and got him an permit to hunt from his UTV and electric chair scooter. He was able to draw for an once in lifetime bull moose tag and got a dandy. He got 2 elk in those times and several deer and untold grouse. Beside that I took him on regional short adventures with his handicap van and got to do things together others can only wish they could with their parents.

Bottom line is while I miss my dad I don't have any regrets. Being single afforded me to spend the time, money, and ability to be with my parents and take care of them in that part of life. Miss making dinner and going on trips with my dad and think about it time to time but I put in those times and opportunities to the maximum when he was here and don't have any of the case of "I wish I would've " that many people face when a parent dies.

Rough thread.

My Dad is 77 and one of my best friends.

Hope he lives forever.

I miss my parents; I'd just like to get back one more afternoon with them. Both were incredible people. Took care of my elderly father after my mom passed until he passed away at 91 years old.

Every day.

I miss my Dad every day. Lost him to cancer on January 19, 1997. He was 59. We were best friends. Did a lot of hunting and fishing together. He was a builder and tought me how to build houses, plumbing, electrical, etc.... Everything from footings to chimney caps.

I do very much lost him to cancer in Feb 2020.
He was 69, could fix anything and did the best job he knew how raising three boys.
We just had his memorial last weekend and put his ashes where he loved to hunt. I wasn't able to make it due to heart surgery. Sucks cause Dad and I had a pact on where we would scatter his ashes or mine depending on who crossed over first.
But God saw fit to give me a second Dad when I was only 6mos old. He did a great job and balanced where my father failed. He is still with us and I worked side by side the majority of the last 32 years. I moved a few states away and he and Mom are thinking about moving here. I hope its soon cause I sure could use some time with him.

Samey same.

Here's to your Dad and mine Jim.

Cheers!

I miss my father-in-law, big time. My Dad is still here and I’m very glad of it. Heck, he is in better shape than I am. His work out regimen is insane.

1990 here

Mine was a great provider growing up. As he aged he became a real prick so no.

That could lead a guy to do some quick work with your feet.

I don't, either one of my parents.
You all wouldn't have liked them either.

Mine is still alive and won't go away. I won't miss him at all.

My father died in 2000 at age 83 of cancer. He was truly too good to me. I miss him daily and will for the rest of my days.

Lost my dad 7-7-18. Always quick with a joke. I remember an Uncle telling how he had been catching lots of Walleye and how they had been "eating the chit out of them"...........Dad pipes in and asks "What are you doing with the meat?" lol Miss you Dad.
