Guns and leather
Sore subject with me.
We have had several family meetings regarding "Daddy's" stuff and the general consensus is that nothing will be sold. That is a sickening thought.
Over the years I have given sons what are referred to as heirloom guns and they are the oldest and carry the most stories. I had small revolvers for each (which BTW Rob mad beautiful holsters for) which they don't carry for various reasons related to sentimentality.
Every family gathering I try to give each kid another gun and you each know that the pile grows as does your age. When I inevitably leave this orb they will pick up each remaining piece and recall the story it carries. Like most of you there are stories galore.
Then, when it is all said and done, there are the grandchildren. They too look at Papaw's stuff and hear stories of what they will do when........
Oldest grandson is shooting now when at Papaw's place and the weather is permitting.
Each of you hss in his possession treasures that some kid, someday will also treasure.
Remember that above.
Health: We are only here a little while. Praise Jesus for each day and especially for those days you are allowed to share your treasures with your seed.
