Leave for late deer camp this afternoon a little late.... Set up, find, cut, and split dry wood... Kinda hard on the wetside now... The usual things for a late deer camp are almost all done and about time to relax with a beer around a fire with my Dad and Uncle... Then my Dad gets a call... (i don't get service, he does, at&t vs verizon, go figure)
It's my wife with news that wasn't good so I had to rush home to get there in time for my kids getting off the bus... My wife manages a retail store and this is their busy season... 2 of her coworkers called out today along with the next few weeks atleast.... One found a lump on her breast which is confirmed cancer.... Another is a lot older and going in and out of reallity all of the sudden... So my wife has to pick up all their shifts until a shcedule is remade to cover...
I told my wife I'd stay home for late season to help with anything... It's only 4 days anyways.... (she had these 4 days off for me to take late season off but now doesn't) She said ok and we just got done with dinner.... Then I get a call from her Grandpa... I get the kids to him in the am and go hunting... He can handle them the rest of the week.... I tell him what happened and he says I know... I was told... Hunting season is short and once a year.... Go.... Just pick them up Sunday night!!
I am almost at a loss for words... I know I'm going to go... And can't thank my wife and her Grandpa enough... (it was her idea) But almost feel kind of guilty because of the facts even though I know I could change nothing with the situation at hand other then help my wife....
Don't really know why I posted this... But best of wishes to those two women at that store....
