    1911 and my boy!

    My boy went through hell last evening with his chemo but. . .

    He wanted to shoot a few rounds with my Government Model .45. He was weak but he hit a dead on bulls eye at 25 yards! Out of six rounds three were nice shots. He was wiped out and had to go back in the house but had a tired smile.

    Sure makes an old man proud.

    Shooting Dads 45 sounds fun. That would make me proud as hell. I hope he feels better today.

    Thanks much!

    We have been through what I pray is the worst of it. Wife and I spent eight weeks at St. Jude, when we were first told. It all but killed me.

    They told me it be be okay but I was a shell on the inside. But then that place that I thought was hell on earth (St. Jude) became hope to me. Now I feel confident all will be well.

    When you spend day after day seeing those children with their bald heads and gaunt pale appearance smile at you, it changes you. I went in there a crusty tough old bird and came out with a heart. Those kids have more grit than I could ever know. Then you see many start getting well, praise God!

    I have faith that my boy will get well and hate seeing him go through it, but I stand beside him.

    He has rarely shot a gun and I know it was luck but I do not care, it made him happy therefore it made me more than happy!

    I'll be praying for your son.

    Sounds like it did him good to go shooting with you for sure...
