I had the pleasure of bidding this year on the St. Judes Auction and was lucky enough to win a hog hunt at the Bacon Strip. I had high hopes for harvesting a pig with the bow my daughter had picked out for me. It is a special bow with even more of a special meaning.

My daughter has been struggling with medical problems since she was 6, so just bidding on something for St. Judes was very important to me. When I had won the hunt at the bacon Strip, little did I know how it would have an effect on my life.

The hunt was hosted by Terry Green. I have spoken with Terry maybe a couple of times on the phone over the years and was looking foward to meeting him. Just with that little interaction, I knew we would be instant friends. I did not harvest a pig because  My hunt was cut short due to my daughters medical needs that needed attention right away.

This year I was fortunate to harvest a whitetail with my daughters bow, and much to my suprise, Terry had a picture of that very special momunt in my life blown up and he sent it to me. Needless to say I was speechless as I try to fight the emotions back.

I have made friendships on Tradgang that will last a lifetime, and for those I thank God. I just want to say a BIG thank you to Terry for what he has given me. When that picture graces my wall, I will not only think about that special time in my life but a life long buddy!

Terry, looking foward to hunting together again real soon  ;)    :readit:
