bigbuck145 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) This is my 2 yr. old son and huntin partner Levi. He was born two and a half months premature and had to stay in ICU for over a month. He weighed 3 lbs. 8 ounces and was 16 inches long. The night he was born they didn't know if he was going to make it. As i was talking to the doctor she told me that as small as he was he was the biggest fighter she had ever seen. That made me feel a little better. It was about 2 hours after he was born before i got to see him. When i looked at him i just broke down because there was my little boy having to fight for his life and there was nothing i could do for him. He was on a breathing machine and the had him extremly sadated. That night i got down on my knees and prayed for god to let him live. I told him that if somone need to go then he could take me as long as he let my son live. He answered my prayers cause i have a handsome little boy and the best huntin partner a man could ever ask for. His mother and i divorced when he was 1. Not being able to be with him everyday was very hard on me. Now she lets me get him everyday and spend a few hours with him and a couple nights during the week he stays the night with me. Every time i go huntin he looks up at me and says "daddy can i go with you?" and of course i say yes. Just wanted to show him off and let everyone else meet my huntin buddy.

bigbuck145 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I forgot to say this on Nov. 16th he was with me and we shot a really nice 8 point. After i shot he looked at me and said "daddy we shot a big buck". When people ask him about it he always says " i shot a big buck and he was heavy". He wanted to help me drag him out and i would tell this deer is heavy Levi he would respond with "yea he is heavy daddy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
