“Blue Oak RV Park, it was amazing. It's on the Guadalupe River. That's something most Texans want to do one day in their life – most Texans know. My parents came down. I pushed them and pushed them to take a little vacation.

The RV is floating for the same time.” “It's our RV.” “It was literally our RV. My father and I were fishing on July 3rd, where we were fishing. My parents were 197 feet above sea level, to catch a couple's fish, one turtle. The most helpless time of my life where you can't help. “Two boys.” “My parents, Robert and Joni Brake – middle class, I went by the whole time. My father was in the Air Force. My mother went through nursing school. They were about the community. They were about the country, the church. “Dad taught us how to salute from the age of three or four or four. He said early on you would protect others who couldn't protect yourself. That was what we did for us and that was what we lived our lives. First of all, it was comforting that mother knew not far away because she didn't.” “He didn't let her go.” “He didn't take a final breath without her. So no matter where he was, she wasn't far.”
