A perfect Easterpage 2 / 3
"I didn't think so either," said Spot. "But it is just that he wrote you this letter and he would really like to see you."
"Awe," said Grampy. "Really. You know Fawn was always my best bud here in Ontario. I really do miss him too."
Spot got the letter and read it to Grampy and by the end of the phone call, Grampy knew where he was going to spend Easter.
"Spot," said Grampy. "Don't tell Fawn I am coming okay?"
"I won't," said Spot. "Oh he is going to love this surprise."
Fawn moped around the ranch for the next few weeks. He went around to all the Hansen's, trying to get them to at least spend Easter together as a family.
"You know," said Mr. Hansen, knowing full well that Grampy was coming for Easter. "Mrs. Hansen is going to be out of town that weekend. Ricky and Jenny are both away at college now. I really don't think we are going to have much of an Easter this year."
"That is just terrible," cried Fawn. "What has happened to this family? Nobody wants to spend time with each other anymore."
"Well Fawn," said Mr. Hansen, smiling inside. "Families do grow up and family members do get a life of their own. It is all a part of life."
"Well life isn't so nice sometimes," said Fawn.
The day before Easter, Mr. Hansen told Fawn that he was going to the airport to drop off Mrs. Hansen. However, what he was really doing was picking up Grampy. Mrs. Hansen really didn't have to go anywhere that weekend but Grampy wanted to surprise Fawn and this was the best way they could think of doing it.
"Do you want to come to the airport with us?" Mrs. Hansen asked Fawn.
"I guess," said Fawn, not being too enthused.
The Hansen's and Fawn and Spot arrived at the airport. Fawn noticed right away that Mr. Hansen was heading toward the arrivals and not the departures.
"Don't worry Fawn," said Mr. Hansen. "I know what I am doing."
"Okay," said Fawn. "If you say so."
Fawn stood right at the window of the airport, watching the planes landing. A big jet from Ontario arrived at Gate 3 and Fawn thought he saw a familiar figure walking up the platform.
