A sad time
June 21st, 2010
The current recession hasn’t been too hard on my husband and I. We are still in college. The difficult thing for me is seeing others without work. My dad is 54 years old. He has worked hard throughout his life. He is smart, friendly, and everybody loves him. A year ago, he lost his job. What makes me sad is not that my parents don’t have enough money—because they have fortunately saved for an event like this. What saddens me is the way my dad has changed. He tries to hide it, but his spirit has been broken. He doesn’t have that same happy look in his eye that he used to. And that’s what hurts me most about this recession.
