Stepping Into Big Responsibilities
After the reality kicked in that his mom had left, yet again, Brad started to feel a deeper sense of responsibility towards his nana and towards the household. He couldn’t bear the thought of his nana getting older and having to continue to do all of the housework, gardening, and generally looking after things. He decided that he was going to step up and give back…
Not only did Brad continue going to school, but he started taking on weekly trips to the grocery store, taking care of whatever needed taking care of, and doing some gardening from time to time. As he got older, his responsibilities became greater, and by the time he had turned 18, he was out of school and gained a full-time job at a local factory.
