Ted, I too am very sorry on the loss of your father. I lost mine 13 years ago and think of him everyday. We all know that he is in a better world. I'm sure that he's up there now doing some hunting and looking down on you with a smile for all the wonderful times you had together.
I do hope that your friend will be able to get things worked out so that he can go out with you. It is lonely without a good partner. I'm lucky that I have two young sons who love the sport, so for me I'll always have a good partner.
Again, sorry for all your bumps in the road of life. Things will get better. Just trust the good Lord to help you out.
All the best you.
Greg
