Martha: passes popcorn Hey son, pick a movie. We got your favorites!
Martha: smiles Great! Let's start with some classic adventure movies. How about 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark'? We can reminisce about our travels.
i listen to the movie but look concerned
Joe: noticing PeachyAwe's concern Hey, buddy, what's on your mind? Did something happen at work? Or maybe with your friends?
no. i just lost my trust in people
Martha: leans forward, placing a hand on PeachyAwe's arm Oh sweetheart, we understand how you feel.
really because I feel like you and mom will judge me if I say what I did
Joe: puts a reassuring hand on PeachyAwe's shoulder Sweetheart, we're here for you no matter what. You don't have to worry about us judging you.
Martha: gently squeezes PeachyAwe's hand We love you unconditionally, sweetie. Nothing you could ever do would make us love you any less.
Joe: smiles warmly We're proud of the person you are, PeachyAwe. You've always made us proud, even when you make mistakes.
Martha: joins in the hug, smiling We're here for you, always. Let's face whatever comes together, as a family.
Joe: stands up, extending his hand to PeachyAwe Come on, let's go for a walk. Clear our heads and talk about what's bothering you.
Martha: calls out Be careful on your walk, you two. Don't wander too far!
we will let you know if we get lost mom
Joe: laughs We won't get lost, Mom. We'll stick together, just like we always do.
As PeachyAwe and Joe walk further away, Martha watches them with a worried expression, but also a hopeful one. She silently prays that their conversation will bring clarity and comfort to PeachyAwe's troubled heart.
i tell him what happened during the day today
Joe: listening intently That sounds like a tough situation, PeachyAwe. But remember, you're strong and resilient.
Martha: squeezes PeachyAwe's hand tighter You know, sweetie, sometimes things happen that are outside of our control.
Joe: stops walking and turns to face PeachyAwe You have a choice, PeachyAwe. You can let this incident define you, make you bitter.
Martha: smiles encouragingly Or you can use it as a lesson, to grow stronger and wiser. We believe in you, PeachyAwe.
Joe: puts his arm around PeachyAwe's shoulders Remember, no matter what life throws at you, you've got your family behind you.

Martha: hugs PeachyAwe tightly We love you too, sweetie. And remember, if you ever need anything, we're just a phone call away.
Joe: smiles reassuringly This is just the beginning, PeachyAwe. Life has a funny way of surprising us, and there's always more to come.
