The "Chef" and the "Jester" are two of my favorite trick shots so I thought I'd combine them into the "Jester Chef" #theflipnaxe #axethrowing #watl #trickshot #trickshots

We learned about more Humans of Axe Throwing!

View this post on Instagram

"My mother was my hero. She found out she had mesothelioma from the asbestos in her work building. This amazing woman, found out she was going to die in just six months but vowed to have one more Christmas with her children, she died one month later. She learned her husband, my adopted father, was cheating on her and leaving her. She lost her home, children and was losing her life. Yet she found such fortitude and powered on. She planned her own funeral, picked out her casket and clothing. She made a box for each one of her children and we went to have our last photos taken. She took diamonds from her wedding band and had a custom made ring created for each one of her children. I had worn my ring for so many years the prongs wore down, one of our fantastic league members fixed it for me. I can now wear the ring from my mother everyday. I learned mental fortitude and personal strength from my mother, Ruthie. She was only in my life from the age of 3-11 but made a lasting impact that I attempt to live up to each day to make her proud of me. My mom never missed my swim meets, ever. I knew that she was the first person I would see after coming up from the water. She would watch me practice every day, a few months before she passed, a man was smoking on the complete other side of the pool from my mother, she had an oxygen tank and I was told any fire or heat source could ignite her tank. In my 5'9" 80 pound swimmers frame, I launched out of the pool and ripped into this guy for smoking near my mom, he was over 100' feet away, but I was my moms protector. Harry apologized and put it out, Harry and my mother became great friends. A few days after my mom passed away, I was at swim practice and came out of the water, my mom was not there, that it when it all hit me that she was gone. At my husbands funeral, I saw someone that looked familiar, it was Harry. He had promised my mom that he would look after me from afar. Harry had attended every single one of my swim meets, this poor guy I chewed out and telling him he was going to "blow up my mom" watched me as he had promised my mother. My mother had such an impact on so many lives." AJ Hughes, Tucson, AZ
