Firework stand was held up at gun point last nite
My daughter is working at firework stand off 1485. The family she married into runs overalls taxidermy & a firework stand. The other half own the overalls crawfish.
Anyway while we are away she stayed back bc she got a puppy & I decided to help them out on July 4th. She texted last nite saying a masked man tried to rob them luckily no one was hurt & the owner Ricky pulled his gun on the guy. The guy ran away. I'm sure if his girls weren't there the story would be different bc I know he would have opened up on him.
Geez.
This & the missing Wilson family has us choked up while we are away. I'm praying Wilson & his family or found. He has been part of our family for many years. My husband kept a friendship w him after graduating & then my kids were part of his classes. Wilson even enter my son in drawing & he won a set of tools. We gave it back to the classroom. He has been part of the family for many years. Just praying they are found. Been trying to keep updates from the family & nothing so far. Wilson had surgery on his arms not long so due to his bull riding. I'm praying he could hold on Anyways sorry I'm rambling a lot going on in my head. I'm
On vacation but things are affected us here & we are very saddened that we can't help. prayers to them. My heart hurts

Cantaffordthis : I bet your daughter was scared to death. I'm so glad someone was there to handle them. I wish you could turn off all your communications so your vacation could be peaceful. I know it is impossible! The Wilsons are in our prayers. It's all so sad!
