16. Oh this makes me ache

For my own spot on a little lake in Northern Ontario, which I will not see. Seventy summers I spent there ...

The access, once easy, has disappeared. I can't do the only route left by myself, and I can't rely on the help of others.
(I also care for my WWII vet husband - who used to jump in the boat and clamber over rocks.)

All to say that I love your writing. Yes, we all need a break, and your tale comes mighty close to giving me one.

Thank you.
