He's the one whose mom is working all day,and has no relatives nearby to take him to the barbershop for her. His dad is serving in Iraq and money is tight. He has a little brother about two years old and his mom is expecting again.<BR/> <BR/>I only know this about him because when I went to pick my grandaughter up from kindergarten today his grandmother, who lives five hours away but was visiting for the week, was telling me the whole story. <BR/><BR/>He came out in the line looking so much like your drawing it was eerie.<BR/><BR/>CateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1124308079658378032005-08-17T12:47:00.000-07:002005-08-17T12:47:00.000-07:00Mr. Ludwick, I, too, can honestly say that I'm gla...Mr. Ludwick, I, too, can honestly say that I'm glad that you exist. Thanks for the good talk, as it's never a dull moment when you and I get together. Can't say that Primal has been the same without you.

I stopped by on your 5-year anniversary and enjoyed reading/reviewing about it on the blog. I thought to myself, "When Ward was considering this decision, he didn't even exist to me." I'm glad you exist. I can say with all honesty that I never saw it coming.<BR/>I hope Ava has a great year at school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1124301717362859782005-08-17T11:01:00.000-07:002005-08-17T11:01:00.000-07:00This is so great!
