Hello all, I have a story to share. Sunday I had 2 calls waiting for me on my a m. when I came in from church. A young lad that seemed so shook up... wanted me to call him concerning selling his ferret. Later he called again and we were here to take the call. The story was he wanted to sell his boy because his car was in the pound and he was in need of cash to get it out so he could get to work. I ask him a thousand questions mainly to find if the ferret was ok. He was! 3 hours later he brought the ferret to my house, less the ferret's cage and toys and all that good stuff. (his brother drove him) He said there was not enough room to haul the cage and he has a goal to buy his ferret back. Nice 6 month old mf albino and well mannered. Broke my heart to see this couple have to part, the boy was in tears. We talked while the ferret got use to my home. The story: One fight and charged with domestic violence can land ya many days in jail, your car taken away, never to own a firearm again and not even able to keep your pet!!!! All is takes is loosing your temper and getting the police involved in your life. Just think... with-in 10 minutes your whole life can change forever!!! His roots is h is grandpa, rest his soul, was our little towns police chief for several years..not a finer fellow there was. One of the very few honest police officers ever. I will hope young Jason will get on his feet again soon and avoid evil. Tig was in mint condition when he got here and that says alot. I have never walked in young Jason's footsteps and hope to God I never do!!!! But I do know at one time I could have easly been in his shoes.. back in my younger days. Young and foolish and thinking we had the whole world under our control. People remember, count your blessings... if your life is as good as mine you sure have much to be thankful for. I am thankful for so very much, a husband that loves me and all the animals I drag in, he encourages me and prays for me. He takes pity on the poor and has one of the kindest hearts of any human I have ever met. He believes that folks need to use their heads and stay debt free so they can be "free." I have learned much from this man these past 18 years, wish I were more like him. Well I wanted to share this story with you all and hope it will help someone down the road to use their head and stay away from trouble, wish Jason had and I am sure Tig feels the same way.... Remember, one wrong move and your life can change forever...... debbie scott [Posted in FML issue 3300]
