March 3 Evening

It was a dark and stormy night.  All my pants were dirty so I wore a huge pair of hand-me down maternity pants from my aunt.  Mom, Dad and the KB saw us off.  Big Red was in pieces in the garage, so we took my mom's Chevy.  The rain fell and the night was almost solid.  My abdominal pain was so intense, sitting in the car was unbearable.  I was starting to get scared.
