Update on 'missing' niece.22:35 Jul 13 2012
Times Read: 1,228
Well, first off, I'd like to make a public apology for being so hard and judgmental on my sis Ray. Sure, she is still self-absorbed, but she IS a caring mother. That did not come across in my previous entry.
I've also learned not to take too much stock in a story coming to me via a confused old lady (my mom), and a guy with a heavy Peruvian accent.
Between those two talking to each other, then my mom talking to me - my niece was 'missing'. Missing, as in disappeared with no one knowing what happened to her. I can say that my niece is fine, her parents are pissed off, and we are all relieved overall. In a nutshell - sort of:
* My mom spoke to my brother-in-law about my niece not being at home. Since my brother-in-law and my sis Ray are separated, he's not in the house anymore. If that was the case, he probably would have been the one to be around when the kid snuck off, ie he would've probably stopped her from leaving.
* I texted back and forth with my nephew, who assured me that his little sister was fine...So - did he help her leave? Not sure on this yet.
* My sister finally called me back Wednesday evening, and we spoke for a long time. She found out that her daughter was missing on Monday via a text message, right when she was in a company meeting. She didn't want to call and alarm anyone until she got more info from her daughter and calmed down a bit.
* My niece left with her boyfriend for the Netherlands, where she plans on going to school. She is staying with him and his family, but they are suppose to get a place of their own soon. (My niece recently turned 18 years old).
* My sis and her husband knew that their daughter wanted to go, but they had asked her to wait until the spring, so that one or both of them could actually go with her to check out the guy more, his family, the neighborhood, and the school. My niece had told them that she would wait, but lied and took off anyway. We're still trying to figure out how she was able to get a 4-year student visa...!
* My niece actually texted me too to let me know that she was okay. Like her mom, I wanted to go off on her, but I didn't. She is 18, so we're all gonna' see how she handles stuff.
* My sis said that she'd be on the first plane if something goes wrong, or if she gets that 'bad feeling'. So far, so good. They're getting Skype set up for better communication. That way, they can meet the boy's parents, and vice versa. My sis was relieved that they are not in Amsterdam...all sorts of drug and prostitution horrors were going through all of our heads. The kid's family lives in a small town. And when one thinks about it, we have more nutjob killers here in this country...
So, my niece is okay. And whenever she gets face to face with her mom, she's gonna' get it...

Do it whilst the notion is on you because if you Leave it. ..it will be all left to the last moment, and then it is more difficult to do your best!

I hope you do well with the exams, don't look at the expenditure as anything other than an investment. Good luck.
