Day 42

Ethan–

Did you see that? Day forty-two, brother. They gave me four-to-six weeks to live. Now every day from here on out is a bonus. I remember my first day here, I wanted to make it to forty-two, and I did. I still feel pretty good and I’m going to do everything I can to make it one hundred-and-twenty days.

Ethan knew this was a huge step for Sam. She was allowing him to meet their newest guest and get him all settled in. When she’d told him this morning what he was going to be doing, he’d acted like it was no big deal, but he knew better. She trusted him to do it by himself. Over the past couple of weeks, she’d been showing him more and more of the daily operations of the resort. The more he learned, the more amazed by her he became. He knew it was a lot of work, but to actually see everything, was something entirely different.

When he heard a car pull up, he walked out on the porch watching the tall bald man in a Green Bay Packers shirt unfold himself from the taxi. Ethan was there and ready, paying the driver and making sure the staff came over to collect the bags from the trunk, before reaching out to shake the man’s hand. “Welcome, Mr. Lesky, to Last Resort, I’m Ethan.”

“I’d say it’s nice to be here, but you know.” He shrugged. “And call me Kris. I’m dying. We don’t need to be big on formalities.”

Ethan smiled. “Kris it is. I can see you’re a football fan.” They headed toward the resort. Ethan also knew the tall, bald man in his early forties, was divorced and had two young daughters, Spring and Jules. He had battled brain cancer three other times before it came back even more aggressive. The surgeons weren’t able to remove it all.

“Fan is too mild a word when it comes to my Packers. They’re playing the San Francesco 49ers in a couple of weeks. I’m hoping to be able to make it to the game.”

Stopping in front of one of the cabins, Ethan nodded to the man. “I’m sure we can make that happen. Sam, the owner, and myself, were talking about you and we made sure the television in your cabin gets all of the football games along with the rec center. You don’t have to worry about missing any games this season.”

“Perfect. I think this is the year the Packers win another Superbowl.”

“Don’t let Sam hear you say that. She’s a Bear’s fan.”

“Oh, really? Well, this should make for a very interesting season.” Kris grinned and slapped Ethan on the back.
