Sorry this might be tearful but I have to tell it. My Father-in-law is been hunting for a very long time just about 7 to 9 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer. And now he is on a portable oxygen, which in turn helps him breathe. The reason I'm writing this is because after all he's been put through he still goes out and hunts on his 24 acre lot and everytime he gets a buck or a dow and he also gets turkey everytime my wife his daughter tells her she has to tell me and I get excited. See I haven't hunted in a long time and everytime I hear he gets one I"ve always wanted to go but the fact of the matter is I get very nervous around him because of my grandparents dying over the same illness as him don't get me wrong I still talk to him when I go over to see him with my kids. But I have to becareful that I'm not sick or the kids because of his illness his inmune system is not working like it suppose to. I just want to go with him one of these days but I have issues to. I could write this as a book or novel. I love hunting and fishing if I had it my way I would be out there 24-7 365 days a year and I think so would my Father-in-law by the way his name is Barry, the good thing about him is that he use to own a butcher shop also but since he has cancer he had to sell his shop, I was sad that he did because all of his meats he use to smoke and the best meat that I would buy would be his bacon and I would buy a whole slab amongst evreything else that he had even including his lunchmeats and some of his cheeses. So I'm telling you this story because he's been an inspiration to alot of people. Next time I'm logged on I'll show a picture of him and his deers and so on and so forth.

Prayers are being sent for you and Barry from Southeast Missouri. Barry sounds like one great man that loves the outdoors. I hope that you can over come your problem and go hunting with Barry the next time. I know feelings can be very strong and most people will understand that. Good luck on what ever you decide. God Bless You ALL.

I want to Thank You for the reply and the blessing. I also want to say I'm sorry that I jumped around in writing this I just wanted to explain to people that even with a sickness like cancer even the weak can accomplish things that are or seem to be to extreme for illnesses such as cancer I don't know how he survived this long so I think he has GOD on his side and people that love him. For the time being though I'm taking everyday as a blessing for him to be here. So again Thank You.
