Fascinating story! I believe we went through some financial rough times in '88 and the country club was axed, found a less expensive private school and eventually a public school, went from two cars to one and through it all character was strengthened and the love within the family did not waiver at all. Though many families did not make it out unscathed as people tend to split up when the fancier and glamorous parts of life vanish.
For those that will one day be entering into serious relationships, It's the one thing I suppose you should be sure of... what will my partner do if life situations take a turn for the worse and more importantly, what will I do. The advice to not jump out of the fire too quickly is quite sound (do not always run from adversity).
Yes! Very well said and very important advice for a lasting relationship.
We all these experience that seems so hard for us. Me and my family were once a victim of huge flood that happened 4yrs ago which took everything we had inluding our house. None would say it was a good experience because it is not, but we just to accept it in order for us to move on and start a new beginning.
