Visit to my Father's Camp. Rest in Peace, Trevor Sarty (August 19, 1946...

I would say, just looking at this, and knowing your father built this with his dad, that he must have had a wonderful life, having cancer for a short time is a blessing, but, I am sorry for you losing him, (although I don't think he is really lost, just not physically able to talk to you like before). What a wonderful gift this cabin and the land are! If you can, take some time to spend a few days there as often as possible!

Life is really short, even though it doesn't seem like it sometimes. I am 69, and just retired a little over a year ago, and feel like I spent a lot of my life trying to make sure my house was paid off and bills etc..... now, looking back, I feel like I sacrificed a lot of time with my own children who are now in their 40s, with their own kids who are almost all adults too....

I am not complaining, I did what I thought was right and we all love each other a lot, but.... I am realizing how important each moment is! I shouldn't be telling you what to do, maybe you don't even like being out in a cabin.....

but, do what makes you happy, and spend time with loved ones, and sometimes by yourself too! Thank you so much for sharing this, I am a touch envious, but so happy for you! I will be dreaming about being in this place in my mind when I want to feel calm!
