podum Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 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. David Unnerstall, Johnsfolly, fishinwrench and 3 others 6 I wish I had more time more than I wish I had more money.
FishnDave Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Dang. Every parent's worst nightmare. I'm sorry for your loss.
BilletHead Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Rips my heart out hearing this. I can't even imagine your loss. God Bless You and prayers .

Mitch f Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 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? "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Johnsfolly Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 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.
Ham Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 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! FishnDave 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Quillback Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Sorry for your loss, and I also hope that you continue to heal. Good luck on your fishing trip!
fishinwrench Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 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. tho1mas and BilletHead 2
nomolites Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Very sorry, God Bless your family - losing one of my kids(or grands) would tear me apart. Mike
