Back in the days of ADDICT in Piqua, OH, I got to build a sweet relationship with two boys named Kevin and Dwayne. They ended up moving to Illinois, and I had hoped to one day go out and visit them. (Somehow I thought that my 24' box truck pulling the 4runner could navigate back roads and alleys with ease) After arriving a few hours late, I parallel parked the barge between two lowered cadillacs in a dark alley and walked hesitantly to my friends' house. They hadn't changed much....except for the lower voices, chin stubble, and added 3 feet in height. Fortunately, they were able to skip school the next day and spend a little time with me. We visited many major landmarks in the area such as a random dam, a skate park, Abraham Lincoln's parent's house...haha, and some farm store similar to an old farmer's wood shed. After spending the night on the couch, I hugged em' by and pointed toward Redding.
Yes that's the notorious Nancy and Thomas Lincoln house

Glad you made it! Emma misses you!
I miss her too! Things are going quite well though. Keep praying for these boys out here. God is doing great things!
Did I hear you say that you were an accomplice in skipping school!!?
No. I think they still attend.
