The call was answered today. My 75 year old uncle drove 20 hours from his moose camp in Northern Ontario to pay me a visit. He showed up with 6 grouse that he bagged around camp and we had the biggest feed ever of grouse fettuccine with sautéed onions and mushrooms. Shooting the shit and talking about when he used to take me hunting and fishing as a kid. I was the first grandkid in a family of six aunts and uncles, and every one of them went out of their way to do things with me as I was growing up. But my good old uncle Dave, he dragged me everywhere hunting and fishing. I was touched that he came to visit. So after dinner he says he has something he wanted to give me, since this could very well be our last visit. He hands me this box, I open it up. 9 inches of razor sharp steel in a legit custom handmade Bowie. I was floored. Had a great night talking about old times, and I was so encouraged by his enthusiasm about my life, and his hopes for me. There’s nothing like family.



How long have you been waiting for that call?
