I think it has been deleted. Darn
Hold your cursor over the link title and "cached" should appear. Click on that and then at the top of the page it will take you to, there is an option for the "text only version". Click on that.
It's still there. I just read it. It appears it was taken down on August 25, before she went missing.
Now my thoughts on what I just read -
A gap year is a year that is stalled. The world is going forward for everyone but the person taking the gap year, unless you're spending it traveling the world.
Then, finally, the gap year is ending and one begins to look forward to the beginning of school - and finally moving forward with everyone else. And then a pandemic pulls the rug right out from under everyone. But for someone who has spent a year treading water, it is the worst possible scenario.
And then, when you finally get there, school is nothing like you imagined. It's isolating. It's nearly impossible to meet friends. And those classes you thought you would dread some days, now sound like heaven but you can't attend because there's a freaking pandemic.
For someone who is struggling, it's the worst nightmare. It's the nightmare I've been praying every single day both of my own children can escape.
