Everyone is really upset about the fire. The entire building could
have burned down. They want to move Stephen, the kid that started
the fire and Mira, his mother, into a room with someone else.
Mira needs to be looked after and that has been left up to
Stephen to do. It just seems to be too much for him.
I want to volunteer to have them move in with me. But, I still
intend to leave come spring. So, if they become too dependent
on me then….
I don’t know. How can I balance everything? I need to contribute
as much as I can while I’m here but at the same time I don’t want
them to become too dependent on my extra hands.
So when I leave, it won’t make too much of a dent. But we all
need one another. Am I just kidding myself?
How am I going to go it alone in the spring? [/s]
But I feel so stifled here. Is this just the way life is going to
be as long as we’re still here?
