Bear Grylls Quote
On our next return to base camp, and after the best night’s sleep I had had since arriving in Nepal, I decided that I would call home on the satellite phone.At $3 a minute, I had not yet used the phone. I had enough debts already at this point. I’d originally intended to save my phone call for when and if I had a summit bid.Mum, it’s me.Bear? It’s BEAR! she shouted excitedly.It was so good just to hear the voices of those I loved.I asked for all their news.Then I told them about my narrow escape in the crevasse.You fell in what? A crevice? Mum questioned.No, in a crevasse, I enunciated.Speak up. I can hardly hear you, darling. She tried to quiet everyone around her, and then resumed the conversation. Now…what was that about your crevice?Mum, it really doesn’t matter, I said, laughing. I love you.Families are always great levelers.
