Gone too soon

Why is it that when things are finally running smoothly that it all start to turns sour - again ? 

We’ve hit rock bottom. The head of the family is jobless since December 2012. Our daughter wasn’t able to go back to school last June 2013. On a daily basis, money for food & everything else is scarce, if not totally nonexistent. It’s been like this for months. There have been numerous job interviews for the hubby, but none triumphant. Then last June we hit a lucky break, an odd job that pays more than run of the mill. A once a week gig to provide fairly enough for our daughter’s needs & a few of our own. This was like hitting the jackpot for us considering we’ve had next to nothing for months. Besides this blessing of a miracle, we have been in good relations with in laws both mine & his. The meager amount we have was multiplied by the sharing we received. Then . . . just like in the movies, when everything is running smoothly it’s as if something bad is bound to happen. 2 words, Money Woes. 

I don’t really want to get to the minute detail of the turn of events that lead to my broken happiness so let’s just say that when it finally came down to it, people will shy away from you because you need money. The once happy and flourishing connection will now turn sour both ways. The affluent party in doubt that you could recompense the obligation would more than willingly turn you down. And the destitute party, which sadly in this case is us, feels forsaken. 

So now, the dire need is there & unanswered. The harmonious rapport amongst kin departed. The affluent relieved of obligation to aid, & the destitute loss, near hopeless. It was a happy month that passed & ended all too soon. I’m so sad.
