Wiser people than myself have claimed that we&rsquo;re all running from something, that it&rsquo;s just part of the human condition. Indeed, it might even be said that modern-day Texas was built on just such an impulse &ndash; people getting away from something, someone or someplace, in search of a better place and a sweeter life. A certain theme of escape seems to tie together our selections this week: from people trying to make their way to the U.S., or just trying to escape the volatility of Venezuela; even fellow Texans looking for an emotional getaway or two. Before the busy fall season overtakes us all, we hope you&rsquo;ll take a few moments to get caught up with some of our favorite recent stories below. And until next week &ndash; we&rsquo;ll see you on the radio.

thrust into the role of caregiver for his sister&rsquo;s son. Now we both have middle school-age kids. I love their story because he always had the desire to be a parent, but thought he never would be. What an amazing gift his sister left him.&rdquo;
