one weird easter - memoir
Its an easter i will never forget i was 6 and it started out a good easter but then when we got home my mom and dad called me and my 2 brothers to the table and and none of us had any idea what was going on, and we got to the table and i remember my mom was not in a happy mood and then i remember thinking what is going on? Why did they want to talk to us because they never do that.
Then my dad told us what was going on and that my mom and dad were getting divorced and my brothers eyes got as big as elephant when he heard it. i wasn't sad there there was a lot of wonder like what is it going to be like living in 2 different houses and stuff like that. There was so many things i was wondering about.
Then my dad come out my dad told me to get in the car because it was chilly outside. I was feeling nerves then my dad told me the news. Then
I was woken up with mom at the foot of my bed saying “Wake up sweetheart wake up” it is a beautiful day in Canada witch is where I live. As I get the gunk out of my eyes so I could so my mother clearly and I ask her what was wrong because she had never woke me up at 5:45 in the morning with out it being bad or something happened to the family. I got scared and my father, sister, and brother came into my room and was saying.“Calm down your going to be okay just pack your clothes,some of your personal items,and some food NOT caned food". Next I was getting ready and Carter my brother came into my room witch he had never done and told me him and dad would protect Kelsey, mom, and myself. As I walked into the kitchen we all picked different kinds of food and water. We started walking out the door and I said "Wait I need my picture of all my friends so i would remember them"so I went and got it.
I acted excited around my parents because they did not need the extra stress. But, deep down in my heart, I was very upset, and I had no one to talk to about it except my friends. I felt cold. Like I had no home anymore.
I will never forget that day, the day I casually walked downstairs to find my parents sitting face to face at the kitchen table with both arms crossed and a serious look on their faces. I slowly walk towards my dad who is reaching out to give me a hug, looking at me with his sorrowful eyes, tells me that he will be moving out. At the time, I remember feeling confused, but I did not feel so emotionally affected because I was only just 5 years old. Being raised in a single parent household has been a challenge in my life and has impacted me through financial problems, social situations, and maturity.
How was that Easter transformation of the environment scene achieved? Can you talk about what was filmed as plates and what Cinesite then did to affect the weather and change the environment?
I remember walking away after a couple minutes, I was at my business when he stopped by to visit. After hearing this devastating news I went to the back of store as I could feel my eyes beginning to fill with tears. I tried to be strong but couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. With tears running down my face I remember my mom coming to the back to comfort me. I had to pull myself together but was it so hard, so much information processing in my mind. I had so many thoughts of why, how, anger, emptiness and so much sadness.
Anyway, the day my dad moved out was a day of mixed emotions, I felt like the largest weight in the world had been lifted off of my shoulders and at the same time the sadness that I felt was just weighing me back down. I was so glad my dad was finally going to take a stand and stop the arguing but I was so sad that he was going to have to leave to do it.
My dad was with me the whole time and always holding my hand. My mom was crying of how scared she was.
I grew up at Mexico with my grandparents I had my six birthday party at Mexico and my mom never showed up I was so sad because I haven’t seen her for four years and I thought something bad happened to her then three days later I told my grandma to call her so she didn’t answer I was crying so I just went to play with my dog for a while then my grandma call me she told me that my mom was on the phone I was so happy we talk for hours then she told me that she was going to hang up so I ask her why then she told me that she was going to work so I said bye to her then I left I went to my cousins house and they ask me why I was so happy then I told them that I was talking to my mom and they were surprised so we went to the soccer field and played it was getting dark and I had school the next day so we all went home and took and shower and went to bed . My grandma woke me up and I got dressed I ate breakfast then I went to school I was happy because I was going to learn but then there was this girl that she always was making fun of me and I didn’t like her because she was always
It was September 21st, the day my parents told me that Dad was moving out and they decided to get a divorce. I sat in bed wondering
At first it really didn’t hit me hard,it just felt like a bad dream that I would soon wake up from but after maybe three days or so, reality just crashed down on my head I just couldn't believe that he was actually gone. My mom who was usually the positive one just couldn't keep her positive attitude anymore,the whole family was just down.
When I was about ten years old my parents decided to separate and move their separate ways. I never read much into their separation, I could tell their was tension in the family but I was too young to understand it.
It was a hot July night in Lincoln NE, where i was staying the at my aunts and uncles. My dad gather my family and had us sit on his and my mom’s laps to tell us that my step grand father has pass away. I didn’t want to be true but then why would my dad tell us this then I cried. My stomach drop,heart stop,and my mind stop.
Devastated, I ran to my room gushing my eyes out. All these emotions going through my head of how my life would be without my parents in the same room or even house. From what I remember it all started about mid-June, the weeks before that were crucial. My parents would always argue over how to deal with a situation between me and my brother, Skyler. They hardly spoke to one another, but when they did they would just start bickering. I remember, one night after dinner they both went into ''their'' room with the door locked yelling at one another. Skyler and I didn’t know what to do, so we went downstairs and tried to figure out what was going to happen. With a scared tone I asked if mom and dad were going to get a divorce?" He answered back '' No, they love each other, they wouldn’t do that to us." That following night, was a school night everything was quiet except for my crying. I couldn’t sleep; all I was thinking about how it's going to affect my family.
About ten years ago my family decided to move. It was a heartbreaking decision for the whole family but it was for the best. My family including, my brother, who was just turning one years old, my mom, dad, our dog Milo, and I. It was a hot, humid summer day and we were putting everything that we own into the moving van and the car. My mom mostly held me as my dad was packing up our belongings. Everything to me at that time was very quick and it was a big blur. At age three, I didn’t remember much at that time but I do remember most things. My feelings were one of the things I remember the most. I felt bewildered, I liked our house and I wanted to stay here. It was the best for the family though because it meant that we would be closer to my grandparents.
