Thought I was “seasoned” to death, being on borrowed time myself, but loosing a father-in-law, and an aunt and uncle in 2 weeks makes you think.

Today I think I will break out some Pappy’s and a “special occasion “ cigar and just sit.

Looking for the time when I can do this daily and just fish.

 

Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one.....Perhaps another rod is in order ?

Nothing is guaranteed.

 

Sorry to read about your losses.

 

Seems the family baton is getting passed towards you at a fast pace.

 

Hang in there. Enjoy the day. And get closer to your loved ones.

Sorry for your loss's.....three years ago I had the alarm set to go to a tourney that morning.  Three hours early I woke up in a ball of pain....ooop's feels like a major heart attack.  Several hours later find out I have acute pancreatitis and am on drugs and water for almost three weeks.  Was real close to being fertilizer.......

So I too tend to look at things a bit different now.  Doc's say I can't drink..and I don't smoke...soooo I eat....and have to be real careful here!!

May your days be blessed.

Sorry for your losses.

 

I had just turned 19, 4 weeks into college, and was going to live life like most college kids. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. While having to quit college, go through chemo and radiation, really sucked it woke me up! Life is way too short to stress, get bent out of shape, worry about things out of your control. 

 

There's only 2 guarantees in life. Death and taxes. So after coming out on the winning end of my battle with cancer, I told myself life is way too short! While it would be fun to run around like a wild mustang and live the single life, do whatever I wanted whenever, and party like there's no tomorrow. There's the finer things in life. 

 

I won my fight in 2003, married my wife in 2006, my son was born in 2010. With my treatment kids were a roll of the dice, my son was 9 weeks early and spent 52 days in the hospital. Nothing has ever came easy for us 3. But we're on the right side of the grass and enjoying life.

 

Enjoy the new boat, enjoy the cigar, enjoy the drink, and order that rod. Life's too short order 2! ?
