Parents Suggest Post-Surgery Stress
My parents believed Evan’s change in behavior was simply part of adjusting after the surgery. “It’s a big change, honey,” Dad said gently, “He just needs time.” Mom added, “He’s always been strong. Maybe he doesn’t know how to ask for help.” Their words were meant to comfort me, but the worry in their eyes showed they, like me, sensed something was wrong. It was clear they didn’t have all the answers either.

Planning A Supportive Dinner
Dad suggested hosting a family dinner to lift Evan’s spirits. “It’s important he knows we’re here for him,” he said, resting a hand on my shoulder. We decided to prepare his favorite dishes, hoping the warmth and familiarity of home would encourage him to open up. “A little distraction might help,” Mom smiled, already making a grocery list. I nodded, feeling hopeful that coming together as a family would remind Evan how deeply he’s loved.
