To Milla, my dearest daughter

Thank you for your telehone call yesterday. It it always nice to hear from you. I know you must be exhausted working night shifts at the hospital, but please know that I am very proud of you for helping many people's lives daily.

I just spent three weeks holiday at Inari, and am on my way home to Helsinki. I think I brought you to one of these annual fishing vacation when you were a little girl, didn't I? Well, this year was something. Last week, I was on the boat as usual in the middle of lake with my rods, and one was being tugged like never before. While telling myself to cool, I spent a long time reeling in the monster, and 15 minutes later, I pulled in a 78cm, 7.25kg trout. I have a feeling that I may take a trophy at the end of this season. I will show you photos when I return.

On another subject, I met these people yesterday; a Japanese and an American couple, and after talking with them I decided to spend a day with them, showing what I know of  the real Lapland. Milla, I can picture you thinking, that I may be out of my mind, but it was nice to show them the lake on my boat, taking a drive up to the border of Norway, and encountering a herd of reindeer. They also tried reindeer stew for lunch, which they said they enjoyed very much, as I hope they did about the beautiful scenery of our loving country. Included are some photos they sent me.

I am looking forward to the day of seeing you. Please take care of your physical, and look forward to my souvenir for you.

With love, papa
