Day 5 just to backup

A little different this morning I guess how I got here. We bought a ranch when Chance was 6 it was my wife’s dream part of the land, we bought her great great granddad’s land when she was little. She finally talked me into taking the risk. The last 5 years have been great. She was the perfect mom active in Chances school just joining the PTA they had their own bond. When I was off hauling cows, she called almost hourly just to call She worked beside me every day she talked about how great our life was, we had just put an offer on the land next to us and never argued except when we worked cattle in the pens and everyone couple does that.
Then I was on the road hauling cattle I took a load of cattle to Wyoming I was due back around 4 am when I got home, she was gone and Chance was home alone in bed asleep, she left a note basically saying she didn’t want to do this anymore and wanted a new life. Chance got up and ask where is mom, I explained I didn’t know and it hit me, I didn’t have a clue what to do and sure didn’t know how to raise an 11-year-old alone. Realizing I didn’t even know him because mom did it all. I did the fun stuff. I’ve learned he is a mini her. In every way his mannerism, his likes dislike. His mouth. Time to get him up and ready for school.
