 6/16/2018 Now back in 1975 I never told my parents or anyone else why I moved to the Valley with sister Barbara. Before  this ordeal i am going through  I thought I would just  keep it my secret and the only person I thought would have had in idea why i moved  would have been  Petra Rodriquez. Later years we hanged out I could have brought it up  blamed her but I  never did  i am glad because now i know all these was meant to be. I think it was the month of November  1975 that my father and I were in the living room when I  asked him  I  wanted to go live with sister  Barbara continue my education in the Valley . I didn't know what father  was going to say but he made it very easy for me by saying if this is what i  wanted  I could  go stay with her. He didn't tell me at first what he had in mind but mother also went with me  stayed until December . 1976 came and by March  Fathers health   started getting  worse and once I knew he was ill I would take the Greyhound bus back to Crystal City. I  travel  so much that one day the bus driver who was an older slim white Anglo  man said  to me, "if I were younger by now I would have married you." I haven't noticed now  but back then bus drivers  wore  a  hat and uniform helped people off the bus by holding your hand  reminding people about the stairs.
