grandparents-not L.S. and D.P or J.R.

They can buy a stupid iPod, a huge TV a $50 gift card, but the onething, ONE THING, I really want, more than anything else, they can'tget. The iPod is falling apart at the seams, the TV's VCR is brokenand I have $0.12 left on the gift card and barely anything to show forit considering everything in this entire world costs soooo much. Butif they can buy all that, get a house in Maryland visit everyone, bothwork, own two cars, and everything else they do...why can't they payfor a 5 day trip to NYC with my singing group, so that I could not onlyPerform in NY, but go to 2 broadway shows, see NYC, hang out with myfriends before we move, and visit with both of them??? I'd say, thats awhooooole lot better than an iPod a TV and a gift card.The iPod can'thold as many songs as I'd like to put on it, the TV doesn't have a VCRanymore cause it broke and the stupid card couldn't do anything, webarely go shopping just for fun, the movie theatre doesn't take cards,just cash, and theres nowhere good to spend any kind of money hereanyway. So I end up gatting a few pairs of earrings at Claires, agiant pretzal, a calendar, a light up fairy glass thing, and a cup ofcheese to go with that pretzal. The next day, get barely anythingelse...and end up with 12 stupid cents. My trip would have been worthsooooo much more than that. Sure we can visit Portland anytime we want,it's pretty close by. But NY??? Thats on the whole other side of thecountry. If I could have, I would have skipped the trip to Portland,not made my parents spend any unneccasary money and hoped to god thatwe could come up with that money. BUT Tony never sent home anypaperwork for it, my mom said that my grandparents said they would payfor it no matter the cost, and I thought I was going...but, Tony saidit was too late, so my mom called him, they made a deal of some sort,My grandparents can't pay for it, and I'm not going. If you'rereading this, and I told you I was going, I really thought I was, Iwasn't lying to you. I was simply stating what I thought the truthwas. And I'm sorry.
