Never wanted to face this problem

My babe was working at Walmart in Potsdam and hcousin had a job down in Wyoming that paid much better and told my babe about it. Well then my babe started thinking about quitting walmart and trying this other job. Well this other job is building power plants. Just for one week he wil be making $1,000. His cousin told him that last week he had a pay check of $1,300 and so my babe of course wanted to do this job. However the catch to doing this job is that its in Gillette Wyoming which is states away and is a 2 day drive and about 2,000 miles away and that the job was a 6 month job. He would have to go down and stay for 6 months. Well my babe really wanted to do this job and so he talked to me abput it and asked what my opinion was and I was dumb and told him that he could do the job and so he told the guy yes and he left Saturday May 15th and its hard because this saturday is prom and next tuesday is my 18th birthday and then my graduation and he wont be here for none of it.... I never really thought that at such a youg age I would have to face a problem like this.
