Dave. No words can express. So sorry for your loss.
Here are a few of pics from the hopefully healing outdoors, from me, to you.
You may have seen this earlier, but this is my all time record from PEI last summer. My previous all time best fish was about 18 pounds. The third day I was out trying iv vain, we caught not one but two tuna, and brought one to the wharf for market. It was on the truck and plane to Japan in half an hour. All I got, other than the experience, and the pic, was a small piece of meat from the back, consumed sashimi style on the spot.
Here's a pic from 3 years ago when I took a friend and his son on a Lake Ontario salmon charter. He caught his first salmon and biggest ever fish. His arms were so tired he could hardly hold the fish. So we sat him down and dropped it in his lap for a proper fish photo. He still talks about it.
My dad, now long passed, was an avid outdoorsman, and the one who mentored me in the woods and on the water. I thank him often for that. These were a couple of backwoods rainbows.
And since it's hunting season, here's a deer I took a couple years ago. Haven't seen one like it since. This year I took a forkhorn, and it was a good thing, since I had a hard time dragging him out of the bush. A bigger one would have been impossible. Note to self for future years: shoot small tender deer.
