Title: Thanks from Ol Bob
Post by: ol bob on February 16, 2024, 08:40:29 AM
My wife has had more problems and is going to need full time care. It's with a heavy heart to say I will no longer be able to make any calls. I had a great 25 + years and want to thank everyone that thought enough of my calls to buy one. I made a lot of friends and can say turkey hunters are the greatest people on earth.  I'll be on here when I can. Ol Bob

Dang Bob I hate to hear this.  I completely understand as family matters have taken me out of the shop myself for the past few years.  You, the wife and family are in my Prayers Bob.

Sorry to hear that your wife's health issues have worsened. Family comes first. I've also have given up hobbies I enjoy because of my wifes health. Please stay on this site when you can. God bless and your family is in my prayers.

I really hope that everything gets better soon for y'all. FAMILY MATTERS! I have been right where you are, 11 years ago. I am not going to sugar coat it, it was a very hard time. At the time of my wife's diagnosis with cancer we had a junior in high school and a small baby. Man it was hard being "everything". But they say that I did it. Only with a bunch of prayer and the Grace of God. I know that I realized during that time exactly how much our women do and we don't think about. WHEW!!!
Mr Bob, please hang in there!!! Take care of your wife and we'll be right here when you need us! I know that you apparently have patience because I have seen your work. Have a good one and May God bless y'all, Bo

Bob I was raised to always put God first and family second. All the "needs" and "wants" just fell in order as life demanded. You Brother definitely have your priorities in order as you tend to the needs of your Bride. God bless y'all in your endeavors!

Prayers to you and your family sir, this can be a very over whelming challenge in life. There are services that can help, even if it's just 1 hour a week break for you.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers, see is going well but at 80 she needs someone around all the time, and she has problems with outsiders. She has taken care of me for over 60 years, now it's my turn. Again, thanks to everyone and for this great forum, I'll be lurking every day.

Special in life is when people do things they don't have to do, Mr Bob is an example of that. Best wishes and prayers of health and longevity for you and your family Mr Bob!
