Yesterday I was told that my father could move to Minnesota to be a manager of an Olive Garden. The news hit me hard against my face as the day previous was the anniversary of me and my dad moving out of my grandparents, and now this? From where I live it would take 18 hours to get from Utah to Minnesota(by car) and that’s 1,214.5 miles so it would be the farthest I would travel.
now I don’t want to move but I know my dad would get a lot more money and have a bit of a better life so I’m torn about it as I am wanting to finish high school here so, what should I do?
Whatever happens, you and your dad will be together. I’ve moved quite a few times, though not that far, and I know it’s not easy. I still miss my old homes and friends, but my friends I have in the place I live now are the most wonderful friends I could ever ask for, and if I hadn’t moved, I wouldn’t have met them. I guess what I’m getting at is that you’ll miss your old home, but you’ll have lots of new adventures in your new one. Have fun!
I'm sorry you have to move, but to help think about the positives: your dad got a good job, you can make lots of new friends, and I've been to Minnesota, it's amazing! (or at least where I've been). Don't worry!
