As we continue to look at the characters of Life Goes On, We
can feel the fear, confusion and apprehension as the time to make the changes
there seemed to have no way to avoid, approached. Every parent wants that warm bond and
connection with their children but John and Becky were soon to realize that
they could not be both friend and parent.
They would need to be a family and work together to stay strong and
survive. They felt they had lost their
children little at a time and the family was something to dream about and think
of in another life. The life they had
left of security with employment and prosperity seemed more of a dream than a
memory as they watched their children drifting farther and farther away.
They instinctively knew there would be no way to talk and
convince the children that to move away from all they knew was a good
thing. They feared they would refuse to
go and possibly run away to avoid compliance with the plan. The language and actions of the two oldest
children had become so brash and offensive at times they felt as if they did
not know these two young people at all.
Children can overhear and notice even small things forming
an understanding that there is something going on or secrets they feel they
just have to unveil. Each child may have
gone their own way with their own friends but when it came to uncovering the information
about the family they would work together.
Explaining they would have to move from the apartment after
being evicted was unavoidable. The
children realized it was something that would be and even related it to some
things they had found stored in the basement assuming it had happened to others
and they lost the things they had left there.
They did not want the same thing to happen to them and began to pack.
When the morning came and they did not go to school but were
informed they were going to move the confrontation was immediate. It was a time the parents would have to find
a way to hold their ground and do what they thought best for their children and
family or risk loosing them forever.
As the story goes on we meet and get to know others that
will become important to the individuals and family as a whole. There would be times and things arise that
were unexpected and a time of learning more than what can be taught in
books. There are some things you learn
from the heart and that is where they are written. One certainty they were to learn was the fact
that no matter what happens … Life Goes On……
Meeting the old uncle and his friends who come to the aid of
the family would be a shock. None of the
children knew him and were unable to find a way around his no nonsense approach
to life. The offensive attitudes and
rude actions were not only wasted on him but not tolerated. There were definitely many things they would
be learned but at what cost as the anger and refusal to cooperate increases?
Sharing the moments and growing mountain of obstacles to
this family builds as the time nears and arrives to go. Ready or not they will be leaving and what
life the go to is uncertain and unknown to any of them.
Many families suffer problems of different kinds. We have to find our way in life with those we
love. We have to find a way as Life Goes
On for each of us. I believe that each
day is special and we have the chance to do something special or new. This story is filled with problems and people
that are each different. Different ways
of thinking, objectives, hopes, and dreams result in a variety of reactions to
any situation. Differences in the things
we fear or dread influence how we respond or the action we might choose to
take. We have a variety of individuals who
need to find a way through the difficult times and confusion of life to come
together as a family or loose so much they might have had but may never know.
