Well Hello Kiene's people!

**Ed Wahl** · 02-28-2025, 09:45 PM

I used to be a regular poster back in the day.

I was all over the place. Anything fly fishing related and I was on it and posting about it.

I also hunt with bird dogs and I also posted about that.

Well, I dropped out because my wife was ill
.
COPD type ill.

It was bad.

For a long time.

She passed in January.

I'm getting back into things now.

No, grieving is not over, don't know if it will ever be.

You guys just get ready, cause I'm coming back.
And I've got 15 years to make up for.
And you MFR'S have been letting me down.
Ed

Hi Ed -

You have been dearly missed, and I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my wonderful wife in 2005, and I wish you the very best.

As I remember your great posts, we are fortunate to have you back!

My Best Regards, Bob

Hello, Ed

We are all so glad you are back.

We are sorry for your long struggle and great loss.

Many of us old farts are still here.

We are excited for you to be able to be back here, inspiring us all.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I've missed you all. Can't wait to pick up where I left off, minus any negativity.
Life's just too short.

I can pass on, if I may, that anyone facing difficulties so bad you can't imagine dealing with them, well, you can. You can overcome anything when you have no other choice.
I came out the other side and if anyone here needs to talk, I'll listen.

Grief has not let go of me yet but is backing off a bit, it's a process. Don't know when it's over. But I'm chomping at the bit to get back into what I've always loved doing.
