Forty six years ago today, Nena gave birth to our son at the Yell County Hospital in Danville, Arkansas.
We had prepaid, $100 to the doctor, $150 to the hospital. Nena, as she did recently during her four strokes, left the hospital early, just hours after the birth. We received a refund of $50.
Today, our son, a single dad to grandson Jack, has a totally different skill set than his mom and I, marching to a different drummer. We've not always been close, but today are closer than ever.
He likely doesn't know how much his recent statement meant to me: "Without you dad, I would be fucked!"

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Diego.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he's down and out, Jim.
ReplyDeletePosing for a pic at an abandoned house sends that impression. So clever of you to point out the obvious. . LOL
ReplyDeleteJim, why does he go by DLR and not Jim Barton, Jr.?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you reject the name your mother gave you at birth, Eduardo?
Deleteway to sniff that orange haired old lady out sir. He is a turnoff... pura caca.
ReplyDeleteBoy that old lady looking Eduardo has a thin skin Mr. Barton. He is a liar just like Brownsville Voice. He wrote a story going after you just because you said truth about his commenting. Of course he denies it. He says he does not comment on blogs just Face Book. The man is a liar. And he has orange hair. Thank you Mr. Barton... thank you thank you thank you for exposing him.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't your son also have another son in Matamoros? Believe you have written about a kid named Felix.
