This isn\'t how things should be

I called my husband a week ago from work.  He asked me if I wanted to hear something terrible.  When I asked him what, he told me that he might have seen our daughter behind him in line at the grocery store but he wasn' quite sure that it was her.  He said that she had her red hair but she weighed about 40 pounds more than our daughter, and was dressed in a ragged coat and boots.  He said it kind of looked like her but it kind of didn't.  He had our 13 year old son in the car, because he had picked him up from school ill.  He was going to ask him what kind of car our daughter drove but she was gone.  We haven't seen her for almost 2 years.  She had another son in August.  We have calls from bill collectors looking for her every night.  I have not written to her since November, when I decided to take a break for awhile.  Not hearing from her month after month has been hard.  I felt I should keep trying but it has helped to take a bit of a break.  It makes me sick to think that we would not even recognize her anymore.  Maybe it wasn't her I don't know.  It is an uncomfortable and depressing feeling though.  I can not seem to shake the feeling that she might have come over here to where she grew up hoping to see us.  She only lives 20 minutes away.  I don't know.  Scott said if this was our daughter, she showed no recognition to him.
