If I was Carson because she stood by his side the whole time. This reminds me when my friend and I got into a fight in elemntray school, my best friend never took anyones side and she was still talking to me. She is a true friend to me.
ReplyDelete1) If I was in Christine's situation, I would have reunited with my mother. Even though she was never there for me, and I wasn't her top priority, I would still love her. There are situations when you have a love/hate relationship with someone. I would say this is an example of one of them. Christine was furious that her mother wasn't with her while she grew up, however she's still her mother and everyone has an unconditional love with their mother. In the back of my mind, I'd feel foolish to want to see my mother again because I would think about all the times she left me for her boyfriends. But the other half would want her back because deep down despite all her faults, you still love your mother always. I think Christine accepted her mother because she must have been tired of living and wanting someone to love her. Who would be better to love her than her own mother? I had a friend who I was so close with since childhood but she had to move and the day before she left, we had fought over something small. I never saw her for 4 years and I thought things would be different. We never stayed in touch but one day she came and visited the neighbourhood. She even came over to see me. I was so happy to see her that I began to cry and forgot all that happened. I was able to forgive right at that moment. Sometimes things take shocking turns but I think it's all for the best. Even if my mom and I fight, I just can't stay mad at her for too long. Within a day or two, we begin talking again. This is what we call unconditional love.
ReplyDelete1. If i was in Christine's shoes, i would have definitely reunited with my mother because even though, tuff times may occur with your family including your parents; at this day and age this stuff happens more then it should. In life your parents may not always be there for you, either if their making a living for you, or even because their having a bad time does not mean that you should just walk away, you should just try to help your mother in this case, because in some shape and form their doing that with us.
