what next?
son is 22, and so incredibly shy that he has only had a few friend friends. the main reason that we homeschooled for 8 years was to let this kid meet the world on his own terms, when he was ready, and not allow him to be crushed by bullies, or bureaucracies. he went to regular school for 3 years, and dropped out mostly due to a sleep disorder. he has been just kinda hanging around on the internets, and being my houseboy. lately he started getting back in touch with some of the kids he new at school, and getting out, and having a little fun. he decided to go back to school, and is attending a city college full time. he is really enjoying himself.
but he met a girl on the internets, and she wants to come up here over spring break. she is from texas. i am really happy for him. he has just blossomed into the great guy i always knew he would.
AND there's my daughter, who had been tossed out of the house due (mostly) to her boyfriend's incredibly asinine behavior. i haven't spoken to either of them in 6 months. she came by yesterday bearing a message that he apologized, that he realized he was completely out of line.
this child has been such a handful all her 20 years, but is also blossoming into a great person. she has held a job at a doggy day care for over a year, and is doing great in college. enjoying her classes, getting good grades, and even, as a sophomore, taking a graduate level lit class. (she was always a voracious reader. and a natural writing talent.) i am so proud of her, even when i am pissed off.
people, life does not get much better than this. thanks for letting me brag.
