I've been on this board for a while, though I haven't posted much in the last few years.  My wife and I lost our only child, daughter Ansley (19) a little over a year ago.  It has taken more than a year to process this, much less talk to people about it.  She was a light in the world - a musician, vocalist, song writer, harp and guitar player and could debate a lawyer on politics and win.  I've lost my initiative to fish and hunt, though it is slowly coming back.  I'm heading to Louisiana to chase a Red Fish this weekend.  I hope to post a big one.  I've enjoyed my conversations with many on this board and hope to get back involved in the future.  Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

I wish I had more time more than I wish I had more money.

Being a parent, I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. God bless you and your wife! Is there a place that I can donate to her memory?

So sorry to hear about your loss. I cannot imagine what you and your wife have been going through. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

I hope that you do get a big redfish and continue your healing process.

No parent wants to outlive their child. I'm Sorry for your loss of course and I hope you continue to heal. Good Luck with the Redfish!

Gut wrenching news!  I'm so sorry, dude😥 

If there is anything you need, or anything that can help ease the pain a bit.....just please dump it on us, brother.   We'll make it happen.   

I've never chased Redfish, but I do have LA Redfish connections.  Kinda short notice but I can make a call if you'd enjoy a guided trip.     If so just confirm the dates you'll be there and available, and I'll see if I can hook it up.   100%my pleasure.

Very sorry, God Bless your family - losing one of my kids(or grands) would tear me apart.
