missyb

i was a sophomore in high school the day i new what i wanted to become .until that day setting on the wood bleachers with the rest of my small high school .i didn't know the way in which i wanted to spend the rest of my life was even a possibility. so there i was among the my dearest friend at an Assembly .the speaker walked to the middle of the gym and began to announce the future aspirations of some of the seniors that year. I can't remember any of them until he came to missyb and this is what changed my life forever. the bearded grey headed man standing there in the middle of a hot gymnasium said or like missyb you may want to be just a house wife and mommy. what was that ?is that really an option ?now missy b was a cute girl from a well respected family. who ran several local businesses. i don't recall why that speaker was there or what he spoke of for the rest of that assembly. i was dreaming of what a nice life misstb would be living .married to her already long time boyfriend in her nice little home with the white picket fence and her 2.5 kids.it was 1984 after all.now i can tell you missyb never became just a wife and mother. her husband left her with two kids to support on her own. we still live 30 minutes from each other and see each other around town often. i bet she would never guess that thanks to her and a greying bearded man i am just a wife and mommy and have been for the past 23 years thank you missy b thank you God.
