Just four weeks ago from this Sunday I lost my younger bother and my hunting Partner to panc cancer. HE was only 44 years old. Now today this morning I lost my father to the same thing. He has been fughting panc cancer for 18 months. It just doesn't seem right. Only a 2% survial rate over 2 years. My brother was only 2 months and 3 days from when they told him. I was having a hard time sleeping before now it will be even worst. I don't know what Hunting season will be like this year. The woods will seem lonely.
Allen,
I cannot imagine how you feel. I am so sorry. My prayers are for you and your family to be sustained and comforted during this dificult time. I will be praying for you. :pray:
Hate to hear that man. My thoughts are with ya.
Few of us can feel the pain you are feeling now. We can however pray for your peace and encourage you to draw closer to your Lord and Savior in these troubled times.
God's speed to you.
My thoughts and prayers go with you Allen. I lost my older brother in a car accident the day I graduated from college. It never seems right however it happens!
My prayers are with you my friend! Its tough, I lost my fahter a few years back to cancer and I miss him every single day! God bless and be strong!
I'm not much of a prayer, I do however have a spiritual side that believes they will be with you in the woods perhaps more than ever.
Thank You All. My dad was doing good but after we were told in april that my brother had it my dad just seemed to lose something and once my brother past away we just saw the life go out of him. We tried to keep the grandkids around him but that worked while they where there, but when we would leave he would be worst. I know they are both in a better place but the lose here really hurt.
My father passed away 2 years ago on Oct 10. He had kidney cancer that spread throughout his intire body. It was a terrible summer and a worse hunting season. As a young boy we hunted all over the country. As he got older he wasn't able to get around as much and it really slowed our hunting trips down. We had an auto repair business together for 20 years. I miss him every day and it really hits home during hunting season. BUT, I try to reflect on all the great times we shared in the woods and I know that he would be upset if I moped around and didn't continue the love of hunting that we shared. Just hang in there and thank God for all the wonderfull times that you shared with your dad and brother. Thats what I'm sure that they would have wanted from you.
My Prayers Go Out To You

Keep the faith, stay strong brother. Had similar happenings as well. On the anniversary's of each one's passing. Take those days from now on, and spend it with your kids out in the woods or wherever the best times ya'll had together were. Tell your favorite stories about them, celebrate the memories of them. Make it a type of tribute or memorial each year. I lost my Dad during hunting season 07", Thanksgiving weekend. I made myself go hunting afterwards in the season even though my heart wasn't in it. But, I actually felt closer to him there up in the tree than anywhere. I will pray for you and your family. God's speed to you all.

my prayers are wit you.
My condolences. Coonbait said it well above. Better than I could.
thought and prayers are with you and your family
Deeply sorry for you losses.
I'm sorry for loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
I'm sorry. You've had a rough go of it lately. Remember that they loved you as much as you loved them. I imagine they'd want you out there again this hunting season, even if you just took your bow for a walk. Remembering hurts, but it's a lot better than not having anything to remember them by.
Keep your spirits up even though your heart is down.
tears are running down my face while reading about your bereavement. I´ve lost my brother last year, so I can imagine what you feel.
Keep the memory alive....
My thoughts are with you...
Thank You all. I seem to be spending more time on here then I should. My neice, my brother's girl had to ride in the 4h drillteam tonight so it was hard. We didn't tell her until later today. She was looking so forward to it because the girls where going to do something to honor my brother we didn't want to take her out of it. So all of the girls used colored hair spray and body paints in red white and blue to paint their horse's. My brother spent 23 years in the navy and that was their way of honoring him. Man it was so awsome. I don't think the was a dry eye. They also came out to I'm Proud to Be a American. 21 girls including my niece all on red white and blue horse's was great. And they had about 3 times the crowd because everybody wanted to see why the horse's were red white and blue. My Brother was a true hero, and my dad was a roll model. And I am proud to be both a brother and a son to this men
