My father taught me to hunt. A very important aspect of that to him is gun safety. He went to great pains to teach me that as well. He let me borrow his Remington .12 gauge almost two decades ago. He teases me about having kept it for so long, but I always get the feeling that he doesn't actually want it back. I suspect he likes the thought of just giving me things. A trait that I think most good fathers share.

As a teen, I always imagined all the ways I would grow up to be different from him. Now, I am thankful for all the ways I am like him.
