Light shines in odd places sometimes. Today has been a roller coaster of fear, joy and every other emotion you can think of. As I ate my late makeshift dinner Levi said he got his stuff together to fish this weekend.
I didn't break down...but I couldn't speak as the emotion ran. I guess we are taking Connor with us this weekend.

The frost on the grass this morning really got the blood flowing. It is that time of the year that we all look forward to. This is the 8th season since Connor’s accident. I am at peace with the fact that I physically do not hunt with my best friend any longer. Spiritually he is with me everyday, even more when I am in the woods. I have shifted my focus over the years that it is no longer about what I put in the freezer but it is about the memories I make. I am grateful for the times I have had with @giles and @Redneckfucker. I still look forward to the same gun camp that Connor used to enjoy with me. Life throws us many curve balls. I never thought I would be where I am today without my hunting buddy, my son. Luckily I have a great partner in life that helps me through all the tough days. I also have the greatest TOO family that supports me. Thank you all for everything you have done for me and T. I know none of you want thanks but you deserve it. It has been a tough road and each of you have made it a little better.
I look forward to our hunts. "Outa tags, bullets or deer"

I'm glad to see that you've found some peace and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Like Dave, I look forward to your hunts. Many of us take Connor to the field with us in our hearts and minds more than you will ever know.
I think about you almost daily when I see the #HonorConnor bracelet in my truck. It's good to know there's some peace to be had and I look forward to hearing those memories here on TOO. Best of luck with the memory making, brother!

I can say I cherish the memories we make and everyone of them have been outstanding to say the least. The memories that will last for a life time. I couldn’t think of two better ppl to share them with brother

see how much moving I get done lol. Sounds like a terrible time anyway 
Going to depend on when I get back if I will be able to help. I have to run to TN tomorrow evening to sign contract for barn build Saturday afternoon.
Ty completed his daily Hot Laps, we proceeded to turn some wrenches tonight for maint. while she was warm. A warm greeting, and reassurance they are never alone when riding. As mentioned, think of you and T everyday. Keep that chin up pal!
Hug your little ones and big ones a little tighter today. It was 8 years ago today. We are down in TN with T’s niece and nephew from Minnesota. Ages 19 and 13. It’s good to have some kids around.
