yellowrose 11-02-2003, 12:43 AM My oldest daughter's fiance that I told you about this past week... well they were at his home this afternoon. He had borrowed the church vehicle to load some dirt from Lowes and take it to a rent house. This was at 4 PM when he left. He told Dawn to be ready when he got back to go load a small refrigerator to her home until she gets a new one... that would be about 5:30 PM.
They haven't heard from him. He is not at the rent house. He is not in any local hospitals and the sherrif and police departments have not picked him or seen him anywhere. It is now going on almost midnight. He has a 13 year old boy (sole custody of him) at home who is worried sick about his Dad along with my daughter and her children.
This is not anything like him. He is the salt of the earth. Something has gone wrong. This is not good. Please say a prayer for him and his family and Dawn....:(
yellowrose 11-02-2003, 12:57 AM Okay... he just now called. He broke down out in the country and had to walk back to town. He had locked his cell phone in the rent house earlier in the afternoon. :rolleyes: My daughter is doubting what he has been up to. I told her to hear him out... she would know if it's the truth or not. She has gone to pick him up. I think he's legitimate or he would have another story and have the car with him.
If this guy is a player, I am going to go strangle him....
Jo-Admin 11-02-2003, 01:03 AM Whew! You know, I think its a plausible story, but you tell that man next time...he better wave down someone with a cell phone, call the police and have them contact your or SOMETHING! Sheesh!
And well, if he was out doing something he shouldn't have (which I don't think he is) I don't think he is the type of guy to leave his own child worrying about him...honest!
*hugs* Im glad he is okay!
whisper 11-02-2003, 01:46 AM Barbara, don't worry. Your daughter may be doubting her fiance due to her past hurt of having her ex leave her for another woman. She may have problems trusting any man for a while. I hope that everyone will work out for them and that they will be very happy together. I will keep your family in my prayers.
Tall Guy 11-02-2003, 03:17 AM Hopefully it all gets taken care of.
The thing I don't understand is why he didn't walk to a call box. i don't know if you guys have them in your area or what, but here in California they have Call boxes every 1/4 mile on the freeways and every mile on the county roads.
Anyway, i hope his story checks out. I don't think your daughter, or you for that matter, needs any of this heart-stopping drama.

singalou 11-02-2003, 04:40 AM OMG my heart was stopping too...and here in IL we dont even have call boxes on the interstate:( let alone on the country roads....my daughter had a minor accident visiting her boyfriend and was just three hours late...but that's long enough. We will keep you in our prayers here too....and you are right...it was a church vehicle and IF the story wasnt legit....he wouldnt have walked back to town i think. Hugs barbara!
Carazy 11-02-2003, 05:10 AM Glad everything has worked out well :) and I agree with the others, these things happen (I know I left my cell phone at the most inconvenient times, too :( ). Hope everything will be settled for good :D
Best wishes,
C.
swanqueen 11-02-2003, 09:01 AM I think it is HIGHLY unlikely that he was up to no good. You don't arrange to meet your fiance and then get lost for 6 hours right under EVERYONE's noses. I mean the guy can't be THAT dumb.
PinkPanther_04 11-02-2003, 10:04 AM We're a bit more spread out here in Texas, so we don't have call boxes except right in the city.
YR, I'm glad everything worked out, and it really doesn't sound like there's anything to be suspicious of. I'm sure your daughter is just reacting from the stress of the situation.
yellowrose 11-02-2003, 11:56 AM Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind and sensible words. It was pretty scary for awhile. There were a lot of people gathering at his home because of his disappearance.
But my little girl (36) ha, was ready to dump him in one swift kick if his story did not totally ring true. Due to all she has been through, she will not suffer any foolishness lightly.
I haven't spoken with her this morning but hopefully they are all at their church and back to normal.
Thanks again... I will let you know when I speak with her, how it went.
Lorena 11-02-2003, 05:48 PM This is my first reading this, and to tell you the truth I thought oh no not more bad news, but it is a relief knowing that he is ok...I hope all works out for all concerned.
yellowrose 11-02-2003, 08:41 PM I spoke with my daughter a little while ago. His story was solid.
Bless her heart, she has had so many tragedies that she just knew that he was hurt. Then when she heard from him to come pick him up, she just knew he was a player.
She said that she was so glad that I calmed her down. Now what is so wonderful, is that just posting here, I knew I could count on my ageless friends to be there for me. :)
