pondmn Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 This month has really been hectic. Two weeks ago I won a 4 inch Keene dredge. Last night my wonderful mother-in-law went home to the lord. This was a blessing because she had lived a long life. My wife has done really well because she knew her mother was ready to die and had made peace with her maker. My wife urged me to go to California Waterfowl dinner tonight as I already had tickets. I really was not in it but it was nice to get out and then I won a new Mossberg 12 gauge over and under shotgun. We never know what life will hand us ---- just be ready.

Look at it this way, your wife wanted you to go and your mother-in-law helped draw the winning ticket for you, your blessed in more ways then you know! _GGGary P.S. have a good cry together, it helps!!

TXKajun Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Jerry, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sometimes it just seems crazy...something really bad happens, then BANG! Something good comes right on its heels. And right on the heels of that....well, you know.All we can do is hang in there and wait for what's next....and do a little praying and putting out stuff like your first post to share with friends.Good luck and hang in there!Kajun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted May 9, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hello Jerry, Sorry to hear about your Mother-In-Law, but we all know she is in a much better place. If we could only see the big picture. In life we are dealt a lot of ups and downs. However, the Lord likes to put us through challenges to see how we will handle them. We all just have to have faith in the good Lord as he nevers closes a door without leaving a window wide open! Congrats on the new Keene Dredge and Shotgun. Did you ever get in contact with Pat Keene? Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
