Life seemed a whole lot simpler when I was four. Every morning, Dad would head to the office, Mom would drop me off at kindergarten and my biggest worry was what we were going to have for dinner (if God loved me, I used to pray, He would make Mom make me hamburgers!). The house we lived in sat on a bend in a street that was aptly named “Sunshine Road,” and after returning from school, Mom would stop what she was doing and ask about my day. The Booths lived across the street and after dinner, I would walk over and work with Bobby – the eldest son, who at 17, dreamed of being a mechanic on a NASCAR pit crew. As he lay underneath his family’s yellow station wagon, he spoke to me as if I was his equal. I held socket wrenches and oil rags for him, ready to adhere to his slightest request, even if the only thing he asked me to do was to stand by the radio and move the dial to see if I could find “Dancing Machine” by the Jackson Five (I was the remote control before there was remote control!). At twilight, I would reluctantly head back home, knowing my mom was waiting for me to take my bath and slip into my Dallas Cowboy “footie” pajamas. Finally, crawling into bed under my Spiderman sheets, my parents stopped by; we said our prayers together; they carefully tucked me in; and all seemed right with the world. Life was good in my kindergarten days as I was surrounded by people who believed in and personally cared deeply for me.
