RUNAWAY CRUZ HAS A SOFT, PLEASANT LIFE. Meet Cristian, the 11-year-old boy who froze to death in his family's trailer while Ted Cruz's family plotted escape from their mansion to Cancun: 30 dead on Texas' sixth day of misery as state runs out of water
Cristian Pavon's mother found him unresponsive Tuesday after his home in Conroe lost power at the weekend
The boy, who had no pre-existing conditions, had been excited to see snow for the first time Monday
He is one of at least 30 people to have died in Texas and 47 nationwide who have died since the storms struck

(21,417 posts)tell how his family coped. They wore extra clothes, used candles to see, and collected snow to melt for drinking, washing, and doing dishes. A neighbor was sick and alone, so he and his family took water and food to her because "We have to look out for each other." But he was concerned about the temperature warming up and melting the snow because he didn't know if they would have water then.

They hung this over us. I have several friendships out here that are under review. There will be people I will be avoiding.
