Hey stressed out people! I read extra the week before so I didn't have to stress out and read this week! I really don't know what I'm doing right now. Like, I can't grasp the fact that school is ending and it's almost finals week. Anyway, since this is the last blog, I'll finish the book in my own free time because I want to find out what happens to Dave Pelzer!
In this week's reading, Dave finally understands how much he is loved when his foster parent Lilian passionately states, "'I want you to know this. I don't care what anybody, anybody, tells you. Rudy and I are fighting for you, and well do whatever it takes'" (Pelzer 203). It's so heartwarming that Dave's foster parents grown to love Dave so much that they are willing to hire a lawyer or even go to hell and back just to save Dave from the cold grasps of his devil mother. He finally accepts his new mother's love and says, "'Let's go home'" (Pelzer 216).
For me, it's hard to accept love. Is it hard for you? I wonder if I even have the ability to love and this wonder frightens me. In times when I receive the words "I love you", I either reply with thank you and laugh it off or say I love you too with no emotions attached to my worlds. I can accept appraise and joy but love just isn't there. Is that bad? Am I heartless? The topic of love has always been a mystery to me. Maybe it was something in my past that triggered me to be so heartless and cold. Maybe I should try harder to feel something? What do you think I should do or can you relate?
