Yesterday morning my Mom passed away. She was truly a great woman who did all that she could for me, her only child. Lots of things made her special to me but one memory of mine stands out when we discuss hunting. I remember getting my gear together the night before, and she said to me, call me if you get anything. I just thought she wanted to get the kitchen ready for the feast.
Well as God blessed luck would have it, I arrowed a nice buck and called home. Expecting the usual congratulations she hurriedly asked my dad to drive her to me. I asked what for, she said she knew better than me how to gut and butcher a deer and to just listen to her. As any good kid, I did. She was thrilled to help and in my opinion she helped in the hunt. We always called that deer, our deer. I will always miss her, but never forget her enthusiasm for life. God Bless you Mom.
Sad to hear. Hang in their partner. Brian

Very sorry for your loss. Said a prayer for you. Your Mom is in the good spot. God Bless.
Thank You All Very Much. You are all brothers to me and your generosity is greatly appreciated. Yes Mom loved the idea of me hunting and she was very fond of venison stew. I know I'll miss her stew very much as well.
She used to tell me stories when she was a young girl on a small island in Greece during WW2. The Germans had taken over the island and limited the food to the people. My uncle was forced to take a small boat and cross a channel to get to an remote uninhibited island, more like a large rocky island and he would hunt goats to feed the family. And he had to do this at night. That's where my Mom learned to butcher animals and develop that appreciation for hunting.
Even when she started to have health problems the last few years, and I dedicated as much of my time as possible to help her, she would always ask me when was deer season and if I was going. When I'd tell her I was too busy to go, she'd always say, just go and have fun.
So sorry for your loss, Prayers to you and yours.
Tom
