This was back on March 8th. Logan Hartzler just flew in from Colorado. A very happy day! Then when it was time to go back to Colorado, Clint and I changed the date on Logan's plane ticket, I think 3 times😊. But Logan never did get on the plane to go back. He moved back here to be with and care for his dad along with his sister Tia Painter.
Clint Hartzler, as I am here doing my best for them. I know in my heart you are the angel watching over them. Fly high with the Angel's Clint. We miss you.
