I live every day like it is my last if possible.  25 years since my Dad passed but put more of his lessons to use than anyone's.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  I lost Momma Ten years ago, and understand the anniversary thing completely.  She taught me nothing about fishing but everything about life and how to live it.  All I have to offer is this, it gets better, but not easier, there is nothing that can fill the void left by the lost family member, but if you have a positive attitude and share with others in your life the fact that we must live while we are living.  Take anyone around you ice fishing and get them on fish and that alone is enough reinforcement to keep up a positive attitude.  Again sorry to hear of your loss, take care, Bubba.

My dad died on a Thursday, he was fishing Westwood in his boat and I was fishing Summit in my boat. My cousin had to come out to Summit in his boat to find me and tell me. My dad died in the fish cleaning station at Westwood cleaning a bunch of bluegills. We had fished a bass tournament together Tuesday.
I hope I go about the same way.

I lost my Father 3 years ago. Every time I go fishing i take one of his rods and tackle boxes with just to bring him along with me. The last day he went fishing was on Dec. 27 I try to go Every Dec 27th i can. Live my life everyday with him in my thoughts with the knowledge he gave me in the outdoors and in my career.

my thoughts are with you...my dad taught me all I know about fishing..and life..thank GOD. I spent 30 years trolling lake Michigan with him learning..and I would catch myself once in a while looking around and knowing that some day this would end..as perfect as it was!! And it did five years ago last thanksgiving...but great memory's go on....

wishing you comfort with the memories you have

Sorry to hear about your loss but I can relate this year like never before. My dad passed about 3 weeks ago, still fresh in many ways. I'm sure it gets better but never goes away. God's grace to you.

I am sorry for your loss. Lost my dad and my brother in 2006, 30 days apart. They were my ice fishing, deer and mushroom hunting buddies, still use my brothers shappel rover when ever I go. He bought it and never got to use it. Not one day, or fishing trip do I not think of them or what I learned from them. I would say it gets easier, but it really doesn't.  Hope you find some peace of mind. I have with my grandson's. I think it is that family bond that enables you to fill the void when you lose what is closest to you.  teardrop
