She sleeps soundly, her head gently resting upon a soft, feather downed pillow. Her mind takes her back to when her father was young, playing football, the guitar, meeting her mother for the first time at the fair. She remembers these times from stories and pictures.

I have a question for everybody. Would any of you be totally distraught if I went to basic training this summer instead of staying here? I actually just want your insight and support. I have come to realize that over the past 2 or 3 summers, I have had little contact with anybody. So this summer would just be a repeat, and honestly, I could get ( Read more... )

After that, I got chewed out by Rick...yeah kinda weird huh? Let ( Read more... )

I thought leaving home for a week would be good for me, make me loosen up. Apparently I was wrong. Saturday I cried, because I wasn't with my friends or my family. Now I am crying because I am stressed about school, I don't want to be around my parents, the man I love is forever away (always a problem) and I can't get anything in order. I tried ( Read more... )
