Time Marches On

[Southern Elk]

I lost my grandfather who was my best friend on Christmas Eve four years ago. I went to visit my grandmother today and she didn’t even know me. Alzheimer’s is such a cruel disease.

If you’re lucky enough to still have your parents and grandparents, visit them every chance you get and cherish your time together.

Very sad but very real. Sorry for what you are going through.

I feel you man. I always tell people the same thing. Cherish your time together. Time goes fast, and your parents & grandparents know that better than anyone so the time spent with them means a lot to them.

I lost my grandpa, life long hunting and fishing partner in September. We spent tons of time together and it still didn't feel like enough. I lost my other grandpa a few years earlier also in September. He had alzheimer's for the last couple years of his life.

It's hard because my grandpa who passed a few years ago could fix anything. He was the handy man of all handy men. I wish I was older so I could've learned more from him.

My other grandpa that passed this year was my hunting and fishing mentor. I remember being 10 years old and going out to their house in the summer to spend days fishing and hanging out. Went on a big trip with him out to Idaho 5 years ago.

Lots of good memories, but I wish they were still around to keep making memories with.

Sorry Southern elk.

I’ve watched it progress first hand and it’s rough. It’s a good reminder to enjoy those still available now.

Sorry and amen Southern Elk.
