My 13 year old's letter to the president.

[jotsy]

Dear President Obama,

On Monday January 25th when I came home from school, my brother was upset about something. I asked him to tell me twice but he said and I quote: its not right for me to tell you”. After a couple minutes, my mother came out of her bed room from talking on the phone. She told me that some one had bought our house that day. When I heard the news I was just as upset as he was, I was heart broken even hearing that, it made me feel like I was being forced to leave behind my child hood and it was just terrible. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach and knocked the wind out of me. Leaving my thirteen-year-old child hood behind even thinking about it makes me want to cry myself to sleep for every night that I don’t live in my own house. You know what’s worse, it happened right after my birthday and it made me feel that my thirteenth birthday was bad luck. I know that this is gonna sound funny but if I had five more years here, I already had my parking spot picked out and it was a good one too. That’s how much I love and have loved living here for the last thirteen years and leaving behind my child hood is like leaving behind my life here. I really hope that this letter gets to you. Can you stop Wells Fargo from taking anybody else’s home, I don’t want anyone else to feel like me.

sincerely,
Miranda D, Portland Oregon.

1. Oh, my.

:cry:

2. I am so sorry.

I'm afraid I am about to join you. Everything we have worked so hard for is about to evaporate.

3. Oh man, this letter broke my heart!

I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old and they would feel the same way...

4. Words cannot express how deeply terrible

It is just to read about this.

My heart goes out to you and your family.

7. As does mine to you and yours, tyvm.

9. No matter what troubles an individual may go through, they are always easier

If the problems are not affecting the kids.

My offspring is grown up, so he has not been badly hurt by it.

But for kids to have to go through this, while the pompous douche bags running this nation congratulate themselves on how they "rebuilt the economy" -- it makes me think there is no rhyme or reason to what we humans go through in this country.

And our government ALWAYS has the money for war!

5. I think you should put this in GD.

And then I think you should send it to your local newspaper, too.

6. Feel free to do that.

I'm afraid my last OP has made my name something of a thread killer. I'm now queen of the silent rec as a result. As a wordy wench, I always have something to say but want DUers to get a genuine length on the line, as it were. So quiet it is best for me to stay. Thanks for the sentiment of the rest. It's the people in my life that are too precious to be without, the rest is back drop. Miranda knows that where we are together is the best recipe for success. It made her feel better to try and do something to help. I haven't been in a position to give her much of what she wants lately, so I relented but put it in the lounge to protect her from the volatile, aligned and competitive nature that are territorial hazards in GD.

8. I'm sorry.
