I like the one prayer Phill said at the supper table where Kay had prepared squirrel:
“Lord thank you for all the things you’ve blessed us with and please help us not to take them for granted, amen.
Now let’s get in to them bushy tails”
(”...not take them for granted”) He knows that fortune and fame can send a person down the wrong path in a heartbeat and he has made it his mission to keep his family “on the path they should go”, as he says.
I woke up to an email from my 51 year old son that he had sent the previous night. He thanked me for taking him duck hunting and fishing when he was a kid. Thanked me for a couple of other things like pine car derby and being a cub scout leader for him. Scared the cr@p out of me. Sounded like a “Goodby letter”.
I immediately called to see if he was O.K. He was fine. He said he had just finished watching Duck Dynasty and that I reminded him of Phill, and just wanted me to know he appreciated me.
Damn fine show!!! Finer Son!!!
