Today is not a very good day. My 19 year old daughter, who is one of the five loves of my life, just drove off to God knows where. She left her job, got out for summer school and packed her car up with my suitcases, no less and headed for parts unknown. Her father says not to worry, shell be back. I say when is this ball in my stomach gonna go away?
I could probably be all right with this if she had a purpose but she doesnt. She is one of those kids that has to bump her head several times for it to sink in. Her dad and I have been encouraging her to continue school,(she doesnt seem to want to do that) or go to the military. She wants to get as far away as she can to do something, I dont know what. She is an average student, held down a part time job since she was 16, bought herself a car. He main problem from our point of view was her choices in boys. Fell in love with a young man who was nice but not very ambitious. I told her this every chance I got and her dad forbid the young man from coming around. That went on for months until the young man decided that he would get some other young lady pregnant. My daughter is obviously hurt, so I think she is running. Beautiful young girl, hurt alone without mom and dad, riding off into the sunset for God knows what trouble. Today is not a good day for me........
