Neither one of those trucks need a backup. They’re both the ones you send when the new ones won’t work.

On Tuesday a friend of mine lost his life while behind the wheel in West Texas. The phone numbers in his wallet were for this 86 year old mother and myself. ( His 8 year old son was in the truck during the accident. He is bumped up, but overall fine physically.) She asked the highway patrol to bring the 8 year old child to her as she does not drive and it would be hours until I could arrive.

I called my attorney at that time to cross the T's and dot the I's. While I have legal custody of the child, the state of Texas always wants to check things out. In doing so, the child may not leave the state until this is settled. (So much for the Mayo Clinic next week. I am attempting to have my appointment moved to the Austin Clinic, but so far, no luck.)

His grandmother signed off all rights to the child with understandings of how the child would be raised, educated and family visits with her. All of this had been agreed to on previous documents. (His father was hispanic, so I I needed to brush up on my Spanish as he is suppose to be raised using both languages. Cajun to be added just to confuse the issue.)

As we all know, I am not a spring chicken, and it concerns me that I will be physically capable to raise this child. Son #2 and his wife, who has joined us down here, are thinking about taking him and raising him. #2 son and child get along great. I think after being allowed to morn his father he would attach himself to #2 son and #2's son wife. They are both willing to stay here until the bond has been made. If it doesn't happen, then he is already home.

Funeral is Monday so we have to go get a suit for the little man.
Stay safe out there.

I just lost a friend in a CMV wreck at the TX/NM line in Nara Visa, NM last month. Where did this accident take place?
