Oh,. where does one even began to tell their best memory of their child/loved one called home? As I read each word of everyone story tears rolled down my eyes for my own child. Then as if he touched my shoulder and whispered, "remember out trip to Ark?" Oh god how could anyone of us every forget that day. My husband mom who lived with us had just passed away, and the kids didn't want to have Thanksgiving and Christmas without her. We made it through Thanksgiving, but Christmas was another story. So a trip to Ark, we planned. The mornin we left about half way there it started to snow, then icing. That slowled our trip to a snail pace. And I tell you it was on for us. We had to stop for over an hour at this rest stop, and my son, "GOD REST HIS SOUL" took off across the parking lot, lift his pant leg up, yelling, "Anyone of you truckers going back to WV?" I was screaming, "Get in the van Punkin, right now." There he went out in the yellow line of the highway, that right pant leg lifted up and down in this dancing way and he way screaming, "anyone going to WV for Christmas?" We laughed so hard I was crying, my husband blinded by tears couldn't do anything but LAUGH. That made me so mad I screamed, "U both are crazy, father and son crazy as they come." and we went through this at ever rest stop from there on. We get to Ark, our friends that live there the next day asked, "U all wnt to go to the zoo?" WE GO, in more ICE then I ever seen on a road. I was hanging on for DEAR LIFE. We get to the Zoo, and u had to drive down this big hill. "YEP" you guessed it we were stuck in about 9 inches of pure ICE. My son, and our friend's boy agreed to walk back and get help. Oh lord I laughed until I wanted to pee that seat full. There they go and this BIG BULL comes out of nowhere and takes after them. They grab these big sticks waving, them madly in the air to scare the bull. All that did was got him madder, and he broke into charge, those two boys JUMPED ON IT'S HORNS and was hanging on for dear life, and OFF WENT my son's BIG BAGGY JEANS right over that bulls eyes, he went even more crazier tossed them both off his horns, and tried to run off with my son's jeans. Lord Ronnie my loving baby, my first born child, a TRUE friend may god let you rest in peace. Ronnie my "PUNKIN went to be with the lord on March-20th-2007, at the age of only 25, leaving behind 4 small children that their mom walked off and left when the baby was only 3 days old. He was the world's GREATEST father, WONDER SON. Ronnie mommy will fighting until they find your killer and lock him away, or a Judge closes the case. Our lives were totally destroyed by our son's murder. I pull myself from bed each morning, making myself go on, for his children, my other grandkids, and my 2 beautiful daughters. Rest In Peace Our Special Angel. That trip will forever remain in my head because it was one thing after another that happened that made US all laugh so hard. I think that big BIRD that bit my daughter on the BUTT when she had to pee, was BEYOND funny, she jumps back in our friend's car, snow white and sadly said, "I think I peed in your seat" Lord Punkin you were right remembering that trip brought a smile to mommy's face for a seconds. I love and miss you beyond WORDS.
