They was asking my all kinds of questions about my mom like what she looked like and if I was sure that her last name was Caldwell. So I went and got my picture to so them so they would believe me. When I went up to my room Mr. C was sitting in there cry and didnt even notice I was in there.

Rule number 39 on my Rules and Things to have a funner like and make a better liar out of yourself was: The older you get, the worse something has to be to make you cry.

I walked over and patted him on the shoulder to let me know things were alright. Then all the sudden I realized I had not been sleeping in a little dead girls room but I had been sleeping in my mommas room! So I asked why my granddad never all me or my momma. and it turns out he did not even know about me! Miss Thomas explained that my dad was hurtin and I was going to have to give him sometime before I could talk to him.
But on a good note the band put some money together and bought me a baby-size horn just like Steady Eddie!!! It was a little old but I was going to shine that think up and it is going to look brand new! When I practice at first it was bad but then I got better and realized I will be as good as Steady!

I've traveled a pretty good distance over the past couple of days, but it was worth it because I'm finally home.
