Driving! Driving is fun and I look old enough to be driving at the age of 14. I learned how to drive so young of out of necessity!
Mom has dealt with heart problems a lot of her life. Every time it would scare me! I would have to drive to the store in the late hours of the night to get her medication (herbs). I would pray that she would still be alive by the time I got back!
One time I drove her to the ER at her request. They hooked her up to monitors and there she was finally diagnosed with an electrical problem and put on medication she still takes to this day.. I think this part of my childhood caused me to grow up really fast! My brother was gone and I was now the oldest at home. I grew up fast in many ways.
Started baby sitting neighbor children and my siblings at 10 years old. I remember one day mom didn't come home and I took care of everyone for 2 days. I was frightened and not sure what happened to Mom but tried to stay calm. Put on a happy face during the day and cried myself to sleep at night. Turns out, Step Father took mom out for their anniversary for an overnight and day trip. I don't know why I wasn't told.
