After a long absence from TT I managed to emerge again for a few days. Then I lost one of the most important people in my life on Tuesday. ET, he was my most favorite human being on the face of the earth (sans my kids and TWB). He was my Uncle, the man who introduced me to the outdoors.

He lost the fight to the big C this week and it's been hard.

ET took me under his wing when I was about 10. I grew up a city kid (Staten Island, NY) and moved down south. He introduced me to camping, fishing, hunting, you name it. Turned me into a good ole country gal. I'll miss him more than you can imagine.

Please, next time you light a campfire on the trail give thanks for me for old ET.

Sorry to hear that Pamster. Even from your short post and description he gave you a lifetime of memories and you show you know how to celebrate them. Again, sorry for your loss.

Iam sorry . It's like the screen door from the kitchen slamming shut ... abrupt, over, the sound tells us to move on .. but I do it a little slower now and I too think of those who brought me around to the world outside of our front yard. You are lucky girl , and He was too.
