Back then I never wore a bra, and it was obvious from the looks Jeff was giving me that he had noticed. He said he remembered me when I was a child and that I had matured into a lovely-looking young lady. During the drive back to his apartment, I couldn't help but notice him looking me over. That evening Jeff came to the house to pick me up. At the time I was eighteen and Jeff would have been about thirty. I was also curious to see what Jeff looked like now after all these years. I readily accepted the assignment as I was eager to do whatever I could to help out my family. I did recall that he was cute, and all the church girls made a fuss over him. He was much older, so I never really knew him, only of him. I knew the husband Jeff from when I went to church years before. One evening I was requested to babysit for a young couple. Because I was older, and they knew my father was out of work they paid me very well. Of course, I was eager to do my part, so I began babysitting whenever I had the opportunity.

I contemplated dropping out of school and getting a full-time job to help my family but my parents were strongly against this. My mother did all she could to keep things afloat and put on a good face, but the bills were piling up fast and it was obvious that our family boat was sinking. As a result, our family quickly fell into financial hardship. My father became gravely ill and was unable to work. When I was eighteen and just about to start college disaster struck.
