This is it...

I guess most of you have heard the news. Yes my mother and father have sold the restaurant. I am so glad for them because this job was literally a 7 days a week 24 hours a day type of job. They could not get away. When they did get the chance things would happen and customers would get mad. We have had customers that would get so mad they would not come back. Mom and Dad would not know why until weeks later when they were confronted by those individuals. They were under alot of stress and I have known this from day one. Mom could not be happy when things like this happened. I have felt so sorry for her when I would go see her and she would be in tears. This job has taken a toll on my father as well. Most of you know he has artheritis and it is spreading all over his body. He can not get insurance because it is preexisting nor disability because they own a business. Some people have asked me what I think and my comments are "I don't live restaurant life everyday so I am happy for them." Then they say well you will not get to see them because they will be working on the road again. My comment is "When my parents want me to visit, they know what to do." But yet I feel so bad. I feel like we have let the community down. We have nothing against this town. As a matter of fact we love it here. We love the people and all the support. I know that the new owners will run this business like we have. They will treat you all the same as we have. They will be working hard to make sure it works out. I am so excited to help this family on this journey and so is my parents. I hope that this does not upset anyone and please support this family as you have supported us. They will need it! There is a positive thing about this family buying us out. They have alot of family to help out everyday of the week. Whereas my parents only had each other. Dusty and I have jobs and they could not depend on us if someone called in sick. I hated that for my parents but God is an on time God and it will all work out for the good. Thanks again!
