Eight Months Ago
Heath Murray rushed through the emergency room doors. Yes, heâd used the entrance for the ambulances. Yes, heâd parked his truck next to the building, practically on the sidewalk. And yes, heâd taken advantage of having the Texas Ranger badge he carried.
What did anyone expect? His three-year-old daughter was there. It was the only thing he knew for sure. The message from his wife had stated only what hospital they were heading to.
Life was good. Life was perfect. He couldnât imagine life without his baby girl, Skylar Dawn, in it. He couldnât imagine life without his wife, Kendall. Six years ago, if youâd asked him if his life would be full of anything except law enforcement, he would have answered no.
Now?
Life was full of pink frills and satin sun dresses. Along with brand new poniesâplastic and real. And all the disagreements about whether Skylar Dawn was old enough to own a pony. Yep, life was full, and he was blessed several times over.
He rushed to his mother-in-law, who stood up from a waiting room chair. Her eyes were red but not swollen. Her old-fashioned handkerchief was twisted and streaked from her mascara. She looked like sheâd been pulled straight out of a church service, but Naomi Barlow looked like that every day. And she didnât go to church.
