The last 10 days have been rough. 2 Fridays ago my Dad was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. He stayed there until Friday morning they finally had him stable enough to ship him to Cleveland to the VA. I stayed with him Thursday night into Friday morning waiting until the squad got their while Mom and the rest of the family waited in Cleveland. As tough as it has been on us as a family, I cant imagine how tough it is for him, being taken care of all the time by others. For him to show the strength and resiliency that he has just gives me strength to deal with anything and to help my family through it too. He gets huge smiles when all of us tell stories of our past hunting and fishing excursions together. I really thankful for the VA. They stepped up with everything to help my family through this, most of it being done way in advance before we would have ever thought of it. They are thinking Dad should be home no later than Monday. I was gonna say screw hunting this weekend and head back up there, but Dad with find enough strength to kick my ass if I did. He made sure to tell my brother and I to not get jumpy at the first "decent" buck. He can talk now, but he has a forced air Bi Pap, so he just writes on a dry erase board. He told me to tell all my buddies good luck this week. So, from my Dad to all you TOOZERS, Good Luck!
