I hope everything works out with Ashley’s parents. It seems that they should see that you two really care a lot about each other, and it’s not fair to deny her that feeling just because you’re a distance apart. Parents should be happy when their children find the sort of love they found at that age. Love proves as a growing process for many young people, and parents should never deny the chance to grow or the chance to love.

I’m only commenting based on what i’ve read in your LJ. I don’t know every single detail about your predicament, but i sincerely hope it works out.
