With this piece it was very emotional and real with what some kids go through with family members. The memories of her father and the tims they had are both good and bad. She interviews her mother maybe, because you can hear the pain and joy in her voice and how she felt with every word. She doesnt feel sorry for herself but happy she had people to be there for her. All together I really did enjoy this piece it made me want to cry but happy.

  • Summary: Even though Mattea was only six years old when her dad died, the loss still affects her today. In this moving story, Mattea, now 17, sits down to talk to her mother about her father--his experiences in Vietnam, his PTSD, his struggle with addiction, his love for his children, and his eventual death--and how her mother managed to keep the family strong through it all.
