Prior to leaving for my trip to Louisiana I had received several calls from a cousin wanting to give me an opportunity to come down there and work for him. When I heard of this I related it to the dreams I had three years before. At the time I was looking for work and it seemed like a good time to go. I knew I had to discuss it with my wife first. I wasn't sure how she would respond. We talked about it and looked at every aspect of me being gone for an indefinite time. It would be the first time I would be away from my wife and children, which was the most difficult issue I had to face. I knew that I needed to work and the job market wasn't looking too good in my area.
