I was so bored sitting around the house all the time. That's what an 8yr old does , if he is not getting in trouble he’s bored, that was me. We had no electricity or running water growing up. So it was pretty easy to not have anything fun to do. I spent most of my time in the woods as often as I could. I tried to stay out of sight. Most of my free time was kind of like slave labor for my stepfather, So this was finally something new. Funny, that I remember so much around the days when my experience with life after death happened.
Anyway I was waiting for my mother to finish getting ready
I was in the car saying lets go! This was one of my mom's friends house we were going to. So she had to do her hair and put lipstick on, it felt like it was taking her forever. It was a few hours away, so it was quite a drive. I could not wait to leave. Just a few more minutes she kept saying over and over.
Finally on the road. Not realizing the set of circumstances that would line up over the next three day's would change my life.
After what seemed like a real long time, we were starving so mom decided we should stop to get something to eat. We pulled into Friendly's restaurant, my mom’s favorite place. I ordered pancakes and got a soda which never happens. It was great!
My mom liked to travel and eat out whenever she could. But I was usually not around when the "going out to eat " was happening. So this was a treat. After some time on the road. We were here. All the anticipation of getting here was paying off.
We pull into Milly's place. Eric and Milly were waiting outside for us to arrive. We were running late. That's why i thought they were in the driveway. But no they looked as happy to see us as we did them. I was surprised that the old car she was driving made it here without a problem. I remember wondering am I going to have to change a tire.
