Hard things at home: broken promises, silence, money and illness, sentence 4
What helped was Mum and his coach cheering loud, his nan writing every goal in a notebook "for when Dad's ready to read it", and finally telling Dad calmly on the phone, "It hurts when you don't come"; pretending not to care only kept the hurt hidden.
Who acts: Mum, nan, Dad, pretending · What happens: help, be, cheer, write, read, tell · To what, where: Mum, goal, notebook, Dad, phone, hurt · Speech: someone speaks here
