One thing that I had mentioned in previous blogs was that I had grown closer with my family. So in that spirit, I took Tawney out shopping today, followed by lunch at BP. I must say that I really enjoyed my time withe her. One thing is for sure I do worry about her a lot. She's entering into this world that I just made it out of. I know what is down that way and I just hope that she gets as lucky as I did and makes it out without any damage or you know pregnancy. I am of course talking about high school and the teenage years. The one thing that makes me worry about her even more is the fact that she seems concerned with coming across as an "LG." I'm worried that some boy will use this against her, in order to have his way with her. Ick what a disgusting thought.
When I was her age I had much more of an attitude on me too, I was always warry of guys intentions. I can't say that I would want her to share that characteristic but I do think she is too trusting. She needs to learn how guys should treat a lady and that she deserves to be treated that way. Any guy that doesn't is not worth her time. The thing is I've told her this and I don't know if she actually hears me. Maybe it's too late. When I was growing up I had that drilled into my head all the time by my parents I don't think Tawney has had that same experience.
All I can do I guess is keep an eye on her and be here if she decides she needs me. And of course pray.
Dear God:
Please watch over Tawney as she enters into this scary realm of becoming a woman. Give her the confidence to thrive and demand from people what she deserves. Let these years be happy years (but with plenty more to come). Hold onto her and guide her.
Thanks, Sincerely:
Brittney Hougaard
And while I'm asking for protective energies towards my little sister why not ask my 4 brothers that "Eat, Pray, Love" says we all are born with, to keep her safe as well. You heard me boys, help her out. :)
