45. Support From
Your Local Sheriff
A sheriff’s car pulled up and Howard walked over. Felix said, “Uh Oh,” and all other
conversation stopped. We couldn’t hear
them, but the deputy seemed to be doing most of the talking.
“This isn’t good,” Roy said. “Wonder what Howard did?”
Howard waived as the deputy pulled away. He walked back to us and said, “My dad was
the sheriff when that deputy first started. He wanted me to know the old man
would have been proud I’m getting sober. Gave me his brother’s card. The
brother is a recovering coke addict and an attorney.” He looked at the card, then back at us. “Sure didn’t expect that kinda support from
the department. Gotta say I’m mighty
grateful.”
Today I
will be grateful for whatever support I get, especially support I didn’t expect.
