    One other thing brother, I felt that last scene in my soul, when you said “Annabel used to love the scrambler, she loved making me spin in circles” then the silent scene of the beach. You’ve been thru a lot my friend, the divorce and your daughter getting older and doing her own thing, I know how it is. My daughter is 12 and lives with her mom because I’m a truck driver and I feel those pang’s of loneliness all the time where a little memory of times gone by will flood into you and know there’s no getting those times back and when the business of the day is done and your alone in your bed is the hardest times and it suck’s trust me I know. But you know we all love ya and things will always get better.

    My oldest daughter went to a Halloween party at the McDonalds by our house when she was 10 and won the entire display set of the Ty Beenie Babies in a costume contest.They are packed away in our storage barn. Plus my grandson loves monster trucks and the manager gave him the display holder and all the trucks in it when he was 3 because we would always be there trying to get the Grave Digger truck but they never got it.
