Tavita: Time to man up…

Tavita: Time to man up…

Mum and Dad today.  Love you guys.  We can get through this.

It breaks my heart to see my parents like this.  Struggling.  Unsure.  I can see my Dad tries to hold it all together but really it’s killing him inside that he might not be able to provide. I hate Keith.  He’s a jerk.  How can he do this – to us, to all the families that were gathered there today at the protest? He doesn’t give a shit.  I was so ashamed.  Standing there like a beggar, selling food, rattling our tins for people to put money into.  Where is the pride in that?

I had to see Moka again too – I ignored.  Got nothing to say to her right now.

I just wish I could do something to fix all this? To see that huge smile that I love to see on Mum’s face – secretly handing her a $20 so she can treat herself.  Tell Dad I’ll pick up dinner on the way home for everyone, and pay for it all… enough dreaming.  I want to HELP.
