Side note: Benji and I definitely aren't as close as we used to be, but we have also grown up. I don't care what anyone says. Distance will always affect relationships.
Back to yesterday's conversation. Somer's voice seemed a little shaky as she proceeded to share some news with me. She asked if I had talked to Miles lately. I told her no, that we really don't talk much at all anymore. At first, I thought she was about to tell me that they had broken up. In a weird way, I was kinda relieved. Was I going to get my best friend back? Nope. Somer tells me that they are "having a kid." O.M.G. I honestly don't know what to say or how I am supposed to feel about this. Miles Eric Herleikson, Jr. is in NO way ready to have a child. No way at all. I do not understand people that have unprotected sex when you are not ready to have children. If you can barely afford to take care of yourself, how in the heck do you think you are ready to bring another life into the world?
Yesterday, I was traumatized. Today, I am angry.
I know he is scared. I am scared for him. I pray that he does not run away from this because that is his notoriety. I pray that he will grow up and find ways to make this work because if not, it's going to be a long, hard road. Once again, I understand that God answers prayers. It may not be the answer we want, but it is always the answer we need.
