Favourite Kahshe Memory

During my first summer at the water-access cottage I bought, I found myself on a bit of a solo adventure. One evening stands out in my memory—after dinner with a friend, I started feeling a bit uneasy about being out there alone once night fell. My friend must have noticed because they kindly offered to come along for the ride across the lake. It was a relief knowing I wouldn't have to make the journey by myself. As I stepped onto my pontoon, my friend helped untie the moorings and gently pushed my boat out into the mysterious Kahshe night. With a reassuring smile and a wave, they said, "You'll make it home!" This little story really hits home for me—it shows that even when things seem tough, we have what it takes to overcome them.
