    Such an amazing woman.

    A lot of people don't know I'm originally from Southern Alabama. My grandparents or significant people in my life. My grandfather who passed away in 95 was proud to say he was a member the same hunting club has people like Hank Williams Senior. My grandmother and grandfather used to own the mom and pop grocery store. There's very few people in my hometown that my grandparents did not have some influence either on them or their parents. Yesterday evening my grandmother passed away in her sleep at the ripe old age of 99 and a half years old. I posted a couple pictures of her and my grandfather my uncle and my dad together and my dad would my nephew on one of his hunting trips. These are some vital and important people who have shaped me throughout my life. Rest in peace grandmother.

    So sorry for your loss, man. It always sucks just a bit more to lose any of the special ones in our life.

    My "parents" were giving myself and my older brother up to a foster home when I was 3 and he was 8 but my grandparents had other plans for us. We moved in when I was 4 and they officially adopted us when I was 8. Grew up hunting & fishing my whole life, just as your family. I get that strong bond, which you clearly understand. Nothing like the love of maw-maw & paw-paw.

    Thanks everyone. Traveling tomorrow from Texas to Alabama and back Sunday. I have an animal sitter that will be looking out for my dogs and snakes all weekend. I would take Rainbow with me but so many in my family are anti snake.... silly really.

    I hope you have a safe trip, that’s quite the drive. Hope everything goes as best as possible considering the circumstances. I think that’s a common thing to be anti snake as much as I see it sadly, both my wife’s side and my side of the family are anti snake. My wife is even anti snake.
