In April 2008,
I had surgery for lung cancer.
The kids had to come together
and watch over her while I was in the hospital.
I stayed in the hospital 10 days that time.
I came out before I should have
because I wanted to -
I just wanted to be here with her.
The doctor didn't want me to come out.
He didn't want me to come out because
the condition of my lungs,
but I had to.
But you know,
she didn't she didn't walk out again for a whole year...
More than a year,
because it was the last part of...
the last half of 2009
before she did it again.
She did it twice.
One time she did it and she just...
I don't understand how,
she was...
She was I think 3 miles from home,
and the deputy Sheriff picked her up.
It just happened
that he took her to the sheriffs station.
And it happened that some woman
who works at the sheriff station
knew my daughter Stephanie by Millie's name.
Millie knew her name.
She told her she was Milly Evans,
and this woman knew Stephanie,
Stephanie Evans,
and she called Stephanie.
Stephanie works in the friend Of the Court,
Stephanie works in the friend of the court.
And she called Stephanie
and Stephanie called me,
that's my baby daughter,
and and told me that they had picked her up.
I was sound asleep...
...didn't have any idea that she was gone.
