My previous post gave a general update on what has been happening and here I'll try to focus on my girls, Giant Miss, now referred to as Giant Missus, Big Miss and Little Miss. The girls are all adults and out of high school.
Starting with the youngest, Little Miss, in her Junior year of High School she started exhibiting signs of depression which only got worst when Big Miss Graduated. They both had the same friends who also graduated that year and all of them either went to college or out on church missions. Big Miss did alright with the changes because she was starting college and started attending the singles ward. Unlike Little Miss, she gets along with people pretty well and quickly makes friends. During Little Miss's Senior year of high school turned into a lot of stress because she was alone a lot at school and home because Big Miss wasn't there like she had been.
During the last few months of Little Miss's senior year, one of Ellie's students was given a puppy that they couldn't keep. Ellie contacted me asking if we should get it for Little Miss as an emotional service animal. I quickly said "Yes!" Ever since then she and the dog have been best buddies.
Little Miss wanted to go into nursing and eventually work in the OR with anesthesiology. She started college in the fall but wound up failing most of the classes. It's sad because she's very talented and empathetic of others and she would've been so successful. Maybe she'll come around circle soon and go back into school. If she doesn't, it's okay.
