Klondike Gold Rush Accident
It’s been a pretty long time since Father left to that ‘Klondike Gold Rush’ and it was time that Father should be back. I went to go find Mother and saw her crying and I knew that she cared very much about Father’s safety but the fact that she started crying during the middle of this month till now, got me wondering what happened. I wanted to ask Mother ‘Did Father got stuck in a storm?’ or ‘Did Father got badly injured?’ but I didn’t want to make Mother more depressed as she is now.

    In Dave Barry’s, “Lost in America”, I feel the narrator was not only expressing his regret for having missed the signs of how deep his mother’s grief ran but, also for a chance to relive those final memories with her as a way of making it seem as she is still alive, even if only for a moment. I also feel he intended for his words to act as a warning to others to watch their own loved ones for signs of depression, especially someone who has gone through a tragedy like Dave’s mother. His mother’s inability to move on or make a commitment to anything after her husbands death were all signs of a deep depression hers sons missed, probably due to their own grief. She was silently telling them she needed help in different ways, unfortunately Dave and his…

    The father and son search for shelter and food in idle commercial stores and the son encounters many dead bodies and questions whether if they were also going to die. The boy is paralyzed by the adversity and suffering he had faced throughout his ruthless journey with his father. The boy questions their fate. He is implying that he is worried for the future. When the boy woke up from his tranquil sleep, he innocently asked his father if “[they] were going to die” (11). His father retorted, “Sometime but not now” (11). The father bluntly answered the question, knowing that he could not hide the inevitability of death. However, the father insisted that they should strive to stay alive regardless of how poor the circumstances will entail. The father wants to hold on to life delicately, even in the midst of a dangerous and isolated world. The father’s motive to stay alive is to spend time with his son and not to lose hope.…

    My Pop-pop was under the deep spell of anesthesia for three days, once he woke up, he was confused and distant. He was delusional, and would say things he later could not remember. I reminisce occasionally, about how my own, loving and gracious Pop-pop couldn’t tell me apart from my cousins and sisters. My Pop-pop would ask my older sisters to bust him out of the hospital, and to take him home. This was a normal occurrence, due to the fact he couldn’t understand that he wasn’t strong enough to leave; if he was strong enough, he’d be out of there within the second. He now states that there was a curtain of blackness all around him, but every once in awhile, my dad face would come into view and he would say, “Dad, I love you” to which my Pop-pop would replied, “ I love you too, Peter”. This was a three month time span of a shared depression for my family and I. Our hearts had a great burden, we were all unsure of the very near…

    I had just walked in the back door from playing in the enormous yard behind our house, when I suddenly see my mother and father hunched over, whispering. Accidentally getting mud all over my skirt while outside, I stayed quiet so my mother wouldn’t see. I could tell they weren’t discussing anything happy, because my mother had worry lines plastered on her forehead. Even the feeling in the room was grim, the normally bright blue couch looking like rainy gray skies. But the telltale sign that something was terribly wrong was that my father’s eyes were as dull as murky water.…

    As she sits in the backseat of a car, the seatbelt not fastened, those crystal tears shimmering on her slightly rosy cheeks, I can’t help but wonder what has made her so forlorn. She has the look of one who has just left the side of her beloved mother or father who has now gone on to meet their maker.…

    Looking at his sad face, she said, “I’ll tell you again, your dad’s dad passed away when he was only three and he remembers very little about him. My father died while rescuing a family from a burning house. Being nine years old, I remember him well, he was a big man and so good-looking.

    A loud wail startled him just when he was about to pee. The liquid froze inside when he realized the heart-wrenching sound was that of his mother. Soon it was followed by bawling of his elder sister as he slowly walked back to the source of the cries: parent’s bedroom. There in the bed, daddy lay still with eyes wide open; he wasn’t convoluting anymore. As he stood in the door, his second sister came running and dropped howling on daddy’s chest. In his seven-year-old life he had never witnessed his mother’s tears; slowly, tears trickled down his cheeks.…

    My family was just about to sit down for a family dinner just like any ordinary week day, but something was different this time. There was silence around the room that not only gave off an awkward vibe, but also released a gloomy feeling as well. Before I got the chance to ask what’s wrong, or even let out a breath, my mom began to cry. This wasn’t just crying though, I have seen my mom cry plenty of times. I have seen people cry plenty of times. This time was a type of crying I have never experienced. The confusion I felt seeing her tears run down her face was as I had never witnessed someone crying…
