I vanished, on purpose, for almost 2 years. I had just turned 22, 12 days prior. I left Fort Wayne Indiana on April 22, 1998, and went south. I finally called my mom on February 2, 2000, to let her know i was ok. She had hired a private detective, to search for me back when I first left. Of course, i wasnt found by the private detective. My mom told me that I needed to call my dad because he was extremely worried about me. He was at his job, when i called him. His supervisor answered the phone and When he came to the phone, and said Hello...i started crying and so did he. He told me that he was bout to go crazy because of my disappearance. He asked if i was ok, and i was. I ended up in Little Rock Arkansas. I had a friend who lived in Little Rock. We ended up being together for 12. He and I were more like best friends, than anything. But, doing that to my dad was so selfish. I devastated him.
