We were returning home after agreeing; we would drive straight through to Fort Worth from Oklahoma. When David see’s I am starting to hurt, so he knows I need to get out and walk around.
We come upon an exit to a Gas Station in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. David asks if I wanted to stop there because David say’s it wasn’t our usual stop. I let him know I can’t wait any longer so he pulls into the Gas Station.
I need to use the restroom, and if I hadn’t stopped there before then, I hadn’t had a chance to shop in their store. David says okay and exits off the Freeway ad David and pulls in. As he does, I look around to see what is around the Gas Station.
I notice a trailer and all I can say is “OMG.” Once I find my voice, I tell both David and Charlie there is a Wrestling Trailer out by the Gas Pumps.
Charlie and David think I am crazy and that I have lost my mind. I get out of the car and start walking over to the trailer as I wanted to get a picture of everyone on the side of the truck.
I notice it is part of Imperial Wrestling Revolution which none of us had heard of before. Although there were several wrestlers on the trailer all three of us recognized.
I had Charlie stand in front of it and took his picture as I knew it would be something we could hang on his wall. As I did Charlie started to tell me who everyone was as if I didn’t recognize the Wrestlers myself.
I should know David always has my back because as I am getting pictures he sees a couple walking up and ask them if it is okay to take a picture.
The lady and gentleman say it is okay and once I finish taking the picture I explain how much Charlie loves Wrestling. They are kind enough to talk to both Charlie and I for a while.
We start to walk away, but before we do, they give me their contact information. The lady ask me to step with her to her vehicle where she hands Charlie a shirt from there last Wrestling Match.
For Charlie receiving this shirt was a dream come true for both David and Charlie. Now we know of another Wrestling company we can follow. I can’t wait to check them out as they work with a lot of Charlies and David’s Wrestling heroes including the Von Erich which everyone knows my sister and I love.
Through all of this David is very quite and as we drive away David says this was a “GOD MOMENT” so meeting the family of the Wrestlers and getting a T Shirt was wonderful but knowing David say we were able to meet them through “GOD” means more to me than anything in the world. Because this shows me he is coming to believe in “GOD” the way I do.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
