Family Story by © horsesg I don`t write often, as I`m not too good at it. But I wanted to share this with you. As many of you know our oldest son is terminaly ill. He is a father of three sons. Two are not interested in their Heritage and I know that hurts him. But the Youngest Tigger is. So hense the Story.My oldest Son has had his 2nd G Grandfathers old Muzzelloader for many years. Along with his Powder Horn. It was given to him in Honor of his Pride in his Heritage and his undieing pursuit to help all Indians Peoples.Tigger comes and stays with us on the farm every year and always Deer hunts. Hes used my 12 gauge since he started hunting. In his Fathers will he was to recieve his Ancesters Rifle.This year the second week of regular Deer Season Crapolv made a hard trip to our place to give his son Tigger the Rifle, so he could hunt Black Powder. I knew when he did this that he wanted to make sure Tigger got the Gun. After a Family talk.:) We all decided that the gun having not been fired in some time, should be put up and kept safe for Tiggers children. So Tigger got a new Black Powder Rifle and Grandpas hangs on the wall in Tiggers room here.When I see or touch this part of my Familys History. I feel an awsome Power touch me from the past. Tiggers feels the same as did his Father. As he took the gift from his Fathers hands. His were trembling.Later when we were talking. I told him some of the stories about the gun. It was used for hunting for food. But had also been used in fighting to protect his Family and his People.Tigger said I know Grandma. I could feel them when I touched the gun. horsesg
