. So the next day was Saturday and we got ready to go to visit Arizona I looked forward to the drive and the beautiful vista's along the way so...we piled our road crap into the trunk put our little cooler in the back seat with drinks for the road and a few sandwiches for a little picnic along side one of those stunning vista's I told you about and off we went...I have a 1969 Pontiac GTO fully restored candy apple red, mag tires, four on the floor! My stick shift has a real eight ball. “But thanks for offering it.”“What can we do?” Mickey asked.“Just stand behind her regardless of what you hear,” I advised.“Always,” Mickey said. “We ... we stay away from her because our lifestyle doesn’t mesh with her image. But we love her. We’ve always loved her. And we’re proud of her.

In the months after that, Steven withdrew, barely leaving his room except for school and meals, I missed Mom as well, but not to the same extent. Daddy was stoic but I could tell he was sad. I would make little jokes and hug him tightly to try to cheer him up and he would brush my hair back with his hands and kiss my forehead holding me close. Then just meander off to whatever or wherever he was going.At night, I started going to his bedroom, climbing in bed, holding him in my arms while he.
