TonytheTiger Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I know the feeling Trace, I saw this right before I tucked my 3 tricycle motors into bed, inspired me to give them an extra hug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 We live in GA now but I always remind my son he is a native Texan (born in DFW area when I worked for Texas Instruments). Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Its amazing how much your life's priorities can change when kids get involved! There are so many things I used to think were important. Man, I didn't have a clue, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Widowsson683, I'm planning to wait another 4 years before I expose him to the real deal.....thankfully it appears he is going to be a lefty like me. So, he already has guns and gear when he gets old enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Miles Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I met my goal with my son which was and still is to be the best father I can be. I'm 66, he is 35 and we still do things together. I have 2 grandkids by him and my goal regarding them is that 20 years after I've gone on to meet my maker, they will remember me for what we DID together, NOT what I bought them.

314shane Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Just wanted to let those of you who are the best dads that they can be that they are appreciated. I know I appreciate mine and, he is a good one!! I spend as much time as possible with him. He's recently retired and has never been involved in competitive shooting past a skeet league but that's where my love for quality things that go bang come from. He's since moved on to love things like John Deer and other implements to go with them and I in return love to see the smile on his face while using them. I never thought I'd let many people know the gratitude I feel for what he has given me or has done for me but this feels like the right. I let him know this too. Just wanted to let you dads know IT'S APPRECIATED even if we don't say it. :-) FYI I'm 37 he's 64 and still way smarter that I'll ever be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
