Thanks for all your words of encouragement.
Ol girl said yes so it looks like I’m getting hitched.
I want to throw this out there to the OB and get y’all’s feedback. I’m second guessing myself about remarrying and having kids even though I know it’ll be the greatest blessing. Since losing my wife and before then when I had cancer, I became a somewhat selfish person. I had to be to take care of myself. I’ve always had a big heart but I first noticed a change when I had my second bout with cancer. I wasn’t as compassionate a person as I was. Maybe that was just getting older.
The reason I bring this up is because for nearly the last 10 years when I’m not working I’m either fishing or hunting. It’s not an exaggeration when I say I probably average 2 weekends a year where I’m not fishing or hunting. I know that shite will drastically change getting married and especially having kids. Fortunately she enjoys fishing and hunting but there where will be times I want my brothers and I to just hangout to hunt and fish. She’s never given me heat over it before but we aren’t married. Just something I’ve been pondering today.
Oh yea, I caught some toads when I fished the other morning. It’s the first day I’ve noticed/ caught large females in 5’ or less of water. The previous weeks before that the large females I caught were 6-8’

You should definitely call it off 4 days after asking her due to an emotional weak moment because your dog died...

Enjoyed reading your first post this morning, glad to come back and see you've popped the question and she accepted. I admire your honesty, openness and courage.
You're a young man while I'm an old codger in my 8th decade. Here's a few things I've learned along the way, some not easily.
Losing a wife to illness at a young age is among life's toughest sadness to overcome. Accepting to choose your next is life affirming progress and it appears you've found a keeper. Congratulations.
I too was unsure about having children, we waited seven years. But holding that first little girl at birth was the greatest feeling in the world and now you realize a deeper love than you can ever imagine, along with a solemn responsibility.
Our first grandchild was a boy and the seven since are all great joys, a different kind of love from your own kids hard to explain. Priceless, my job is to love, teach, support and spoil them relentlessly, especially the little girls.
Beating cancer can wear you out and sour your thinking. A few chronic conditions are slowing killing me and at first diagnosis I was pissed. Really pissed, slowly over time unable to physically do things as before and for example must rely on fishing partners, can't go by myself.
That was wrong, wrong. I'm not dead yet, have a wonderful supportive family, an Attitude of Gratitude with humility that I'm still here. Corny but it works for me.
You'll lose hunting and fishing days to household chores, kids activities, family gatherings and honey do's among others. Part of the deal and your fatherly role, should you choose that route.
My first hunting dog was an Irish Setter, not the brightest breed or easiest to train but she became the best dog I ever had. Got her in my early college days after the Marine Corp, she lived 16 years. Think about and miss her often some 37 years later. Photo is her at one year old in the run down shack we rented. Cried my eyes out when I had to put her down. Great, great dog we went everywhere together.
It's is very true but not appreciated that life flies by and before you know almost gone. Seize the moment, give it your best and somehow it all works out.
I wish you every success and happiness in the future.
God Bless and Good Luck.
