illinilefttackle 399 #1 Posted June 24, 2014 I wanted to pass on my heart felt thanks to everyone that has helped myself and my Foster Sons over the last 4 years. I started out with 2 boys, brothers, also my Grandsons, I served as their Foster Dad/Guardian. One boy Tyler, was allowed to go back to his family, but not Trevor. I remained Trevors Guardian until he Graduated. Trevor was the one that played football & his team, in 2012, went all the way to LUCAS OIL STADIUM in the Championship game and finished Runner-up. Tyler is a wiz kid-he graduated a year early and is going into Mechanical Engineering @ Purdue University. I couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments. GOD was truly with me each step of the way, although I have lost most of my sight in my one eye-I feel blessed . My Journey is over! Thank you all again- you are good friends!-Al 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
