Have you ever had a crises in your family? If you can't think about a crises right now let me tell you what it means to have a crises. A crises normally involves more than one person in the family. I know that when I was having this lesson in class I couldn't think about a crises that I've had in my family, but now that I've had more time to think about it I have thought about a time I had a crises in my family. I've had a lot of crises happen in my life, but I will only tell you about two of them.
The first one I'll talk about is when my aunt was getting a divorce from her abusive husband. They had adopted two daughters in 2012 (I believe). My grandparents went to visit my aunt, uncle and kids in Arizona when they lived there. While they were there my aunt had realized that her husband was abusive and she needed to get her and the kids out. My family in Washington was hearing all about what was happening in Arizona and all we could do was send love to my aunt and pray that her and the kids get out safely. When we got the news that my aunt and the kids were safe we were so relived. My family had to just sit at home in Washington while my aunt in Arizona was having to get her and her kids to safety. It was really hard, but we eventually all got through it together and now it is all better.
A more recent crises that happened in my family actually happened my junior year of high school. My dad had been in pain for a couple of days now due to his back injury in 2001. He wasn't moving and when he did it hurt him a lot. My mom told my dad that it was now time to go to the emergency room. While I was at school my dad went to the emergency room, but I didn't find out how they got there until after school. My mom called the ambulance and they had to put my dad on a stretcher in order to transport him to the emergency room. My dad was in the hospital for a week. I would go and visit him after school sometimes, but it was really hard. My dad then got transferred to a nursing home and was there for a month. That was the hardest month of my life! Coming home from school or after school sports and not having my dad there to say hi to me and no dinner made was hard. I would try and make dinner like my dad did, but it was hard having to keep up with homework as well. The same month my dad was in the nursing home my oldest brother and his wife were moving into their first home in Mount Vernon, Washington. It was so hard having to visit my dad in a nursing home and my best friends knew that and that's why when every Friday rolled around they would plan to do something with me. While the month and half was happening I would have to talk through the pain with my friends or with my mom trying to get through it together.
I know that there are more crises that have happened in my life, but there are just a few. Have you had a crises in your family similar to mine? How did you overcome them? Did you ever overcome them? In the end of the crises did you see a change in the family (they were closer)?
