A sign of the times
14 years ago
My family and I were out looking for houses today because we have to move in a month. We were looking out in New River on one of the back roads when my dad suddenly stopped and backed up. Lying on the side of the road near a ditch was a new black duffel bag and about a dozen bottles of water. Someone is living in that ditch and people are trying to help him or her. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this since we saw it. Arizona's economy is one of the worst, if not the worst, economy in America right now, and it is only getting worse. Everyday I wake up and worry about my family and if we are going o make it through this. If we will eventually have to reserve to soup lines and living with another family. But, above all, I worry about my boyfriend. He has no job, no insurance so he can drive his car, he is living with his mother and her husband, no one will help him. I don't have a car or a job and I am miles away from him. My head is full of the what ifs of the future. I don't know how long he can last living like this. How long can any of us last? Will James and I make it to the future? Will we have enough money to get our own place, live our own lives, have children? When will this country come out of the depression that we have put ourselves into? I just want to know that we will be fine and the future is not dull and dark like what we are going through today. That is all I want to know.

Bottom line is....
LIFE IS GETTING TOUGH, IT MEANS GODS AFRAID OF YOUR PROGRESS.
I LOVE YOU!!!
I love you too
