Hi all,
The most memorable experience with Rangers has to do with an 8 year old
Buckaroo " Brian S". Brian is one of thoughts troubled boys that we all know
at one time or another. When I would sit down to talk to him he would tell me
that
he felt that nobody wanted him. His Mother and Father were never married
and living separately He was passed back and forth between Mom, Dad and
Grandmom ever since he was born. His Grandmother was the one that brought
him to Rangers. His Mother and Father argued over who should take this time,
and Grandmom was overwhelmed with an active boy.
A Year after Brian came to us His Mother died and he showed up at Rangers to ask
us to pray
for him. We did and some of us commanders went to his mothers viewing. He was so
proud and happy to
see us that he gave us a hug and introduced us to everyone. As touching as that
was the real thing
that touched me was that four weeks later my Mother died and when I made it
known Brian came
right up to me and gave me a big hug and said I know just how you feel and
remember my mom and your
mom are in heaven together.
I will always remember Brian as the young man that could offer me comfort in my
loss through his own pain.
