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!
