She would go to vacations with my family and I and I would go on vacations with her family. One day she handed me a letter and started to cry, I gave her a hug and asked her what was wrong, all she said was “read the letter”. I got home and read the letter, she was moving to Chicago. I thought she was messing with me, I didn’t believe her till the day her house was empty and she was headed to her new home. Moving can ruin relationships because you have to let go of people you were closest to and you won’t be communicating with them as often. In the poem “Without Title” written by Diane Glancy the author talks about how the mother was unhappy living there, but the father was happy because he would go hunting. “I remember the animal tracks of his car backing out of the drive in snow and mud, the aerial on his old car waving like a bow string”(39). They moved, the mother was happy but the father wasn’t as happy as he used to be because he couldn’t do things he was used to doing in his old home. …show more content…

    As this story unravels, the reader is able to observe the changing of a relationship, tradition, and young man. While reading, each character appears equally content, yet neither is truly pleased. The root of the unhappiness in each character is due to the change that has occurred in Joe and in their tradition. While his father accepts his change of mind, he is quite obviously offended and most likely feels hurt by Joe’s decision. On the other hand, Joe expresses sorrowfulness. This leaves the reader’s mind focused on the past, when the relationship was ideal and each character was happy; reminiscing in the…

Not sure what she said to my brother, and I’m sure she told my sister to take care of me (Geesh, Mom, I’m not a kid anymore). When I stood by her bedside, her face and body frail, she took my hand. It took me years to realize, that what she said to me in the moment, was wrong.…

    Ben, who was my cousin, was one of my closest friends. In July, he had just turned 18 and would soon be heading off for college. I would be in 6th grade that same year.

Ben had touched everyone's lives in some shape or another.…

    When I was nine years old my parents would no longer let me see my grandma Anne from my dad’s side, because she was an alcoholic. She was always drinking and it got to the point that when she would come over to our house my parents would have to go hide all the alcohol. Sadly my grandma Anne passed away a few years later of kidney failure ultimately because of the drinking. I never got to see her before she passed, but I remember the way her hands felt like silk when I would hold them and she smelt like freshly cut flowers on a rainy day.…

    It was the summer before my sophomore year in high school. Break was ending, and schools were opening soon. We just moved from a small town called Sikeston to Saint Charles, Missouri due to my dad’s new job. I have lived in Sikeston my whole life, and I did not fully understand why we all suddenly had to move. I was slowly starting to adjust to my new life in Saint Charles and my new school when twelve days after I moved, I received a call informing that one of my closest friends passed away. The whole conversation felt surreal, but I still remember that day, August 21st. I saw my friend Aubrey two weeks before he passed away, the happiest, sweetest kid I knew. I did not understand why that was the last time I would ever see him again. I did not understand exactly what happened. I did not understand why Aubrey out of all people had a tumor in his ear. That was the first time that someone close to me…

    Upset at the actions of migrating, they call each other out on the lack of love, which gives the reason why they would not go to the US or would not come home. Carelessness in this action also results in more children, placing a heavier burden and installs more abandonment within the original children’s hearts. Finally, the traveled parents miss their original children growing, which burns a mother’s heart more and more each year they are without their children, then it seems doubled as they have a new child with them, or have only one of their children of 3 or 4 with them in the United States. It truly is a surprising statement of the many people that really think leaving their families is the best decision; it breaks a family apart and makes it nearly impossible to glue them back together. People should not leave their homes unless they are certain they can accept the risk, and have little to no family to miss or break apart. Otherwise, they should try their hardest to make it work where they live currently, if they seem willing to struggle so much for so much more…
