Vegas Daughters (fiction based on real life)

It was about 50 years ago when a small town Texas waitress saw him, "I'm going to marry that good lookin' man!" she told her best friend. He was a tall, dark, handsome man from Arkansas with a cocky attitude and a flirty smirk on his face. He was clean cut, yet rough around the edges and he had a twinkle in his blue eyes that melted her heart. Three months later they were married.........and brace yourself for a 50 year ride to Vegas!
She was a beautiful, young, feisty, doe-eyed  looking for her way out of that small town life she felt was her ball and chain.  She pulled no punches, she said what she thought and got what she wanted. Her heart was tender, yet strong and she had been beat down her whole life.  It was her life now and she was grabbing it by the balls and going to live like there was no tomorrow. She was naive and small town but somewhere in that little Texan there was a worldly, intelligient, strong woman that knew what she wanted and on that day looking across that cafe counter she knew it was him!

It wasnt long and there was a baby on the way, her dreams were coming true! He was born, their first son.....they were like two kids with a new doll. He was a little man, Levi Cordel.....he had tiny little 501 Levis, a red flannel shirt and tiny little tennis shoes. He was so large to be so small, he was their life, their dream and he would only bless this world for a short time. All of the joy that he was, he would soon be a heartbreak that would never heal.
It was  spring and everything was new and fresh, it seemed to bre the perfect time to start a life.....with their new marriage and new child ..........they were walking on the top of the world
