Hello Young Lad
There are many things I could address here first and foremost is that wanderlust that is already blooming in your soul.. but anything I say will not diminish that burning flame of gypsy within...No tales of times as black as midnight.. of lonely times full of despair..or the payment you will make in spades in order to quench that desire to see what appears over the horizon day after day....Stories of the good times will only fuel the fire so I pass on this the biggest part of your being because nothing I say will alter that fact....
The tension between your family and you will grow ...you are such an opposite of what they envisioned..There will be rough times with your parents as they adjust to who you are ....Your father a doctor can't seem to connect with you right now but in time he will and you with him...A little expanding of both of your scopes eventually will bring you together near the end of his time..He will join you on a journey of the road where he will actually see who you are..He will learn a great deal as you will as well..You will open the book of his soul and in turn he will do the same and that bond that was missing will be finally sealed...Mom will always be there not understanding you completely but always supportive in her own way...She's not as judgemental and more patient with you although a sharp word or two will surface just like the past...
In a short time your first experience with girls will come to fruition...I know your fully aware of the female anatomy cause dad had a talk..:) and besides hanging around a doc those things come up anyway...There are going to be some bumps and bruises along the way when it comes to the fairer sex...some self inflicted.. I will give you a heads up to save you a moment or so of grief..that older girl you get involved with has a wicked sense of humour..so when she phones you after a few weeks of satisfying amor..and whispers quietly "I'm late" she's only kidding so you don't become a medical anomaly and be one of the very few 15 year healthy as a horse males to have a heart attack in the front foyer of your parents house...
Two failed marriages are on the road you travel...both in some ways doomed from the start..There are lessons there which will teach you some things and change you a little for the better I think....From one of those a wonderful thing will emerge..the light of your life Ash your daughter who will be something you will be thankful for as long as you live....the father -daughter thing will flourish eventually and endure your travel and hers as well.....
There are so many things I could tell you to smooth en the path but your passionately persistent in so many ways I'm not sure you would pay attention...Yours will be a life of lessons learned and your character is such that you learn well while doing but not so well listening...There will be falls from which you pick yourself up knock the dust off and carry on.. along with others that true friends will assist you back on your feet.. but always keep life's one precious gift the memories of life close by......God speed young redneck and get on your way...
cheers hug a redneck
