*** Three ***
I am comfortable driving my old 1992 Chevy S-10 Blazer with a six cylinder Vortex engine; it fits me.
As I drove home, I let my mind go back two years to when I first met Grace, and all we had been through together. Just like it was yesterday, I am taking my son to work early one morning…

I don’t mind getting up early to take my son to work, it is a small thing to do and sometimes I had been up all night writing or researching anyway.
I fixed a breakfast for him a couple times, but he preferred a quick stop at a fast food place for the breakfast biscuits. I got used to them after a while, they’re okay; I like the hash browns.
I was a little puzzled and confused over both my sons. I have five children from the same marriage, three girls, two boys. I always thought a man would be proud of a son that followed in his footsteps; it turned out to be my daughters who sought the education and the professional life.
One son was content being a hotel desk clerk, the other, my last child, the one I was driving to work, was learning the building trade; the hard way, from the ground up. Neither had an interest in college or learning.
He seemed to enjoy the outside physical labor and his workmates; he was almost always up and ready to go early in the mornings.
