The Mom's Stroke

At first both Wright and his brother were filled with fear over the unknown disease that struck their mother, but they soon reacted. This was done with Wright working hard to help his mom and listening obediently to what he was told to do, as well as picking up jobs to help pay for treatment. This was his immediate reaction to the mother’s sickness, but it had longer reaching effects for him. He said that he eventually became emotionally detached from the issue because he did not want to deal with that kind of rise in hope and then dashing of hope over and over again. He also said that he was never able to have the same connection with his mom as he had pre-stroke. Though there were obvious immediate issues it raised with him, the more over reaching effects were the ones that occurred further on in his life, when he had more time to process the problem.
