Mending

Although Bob and Peggy are both devastated by the loss of their loved one, through the strength of her faith and trust in God Peggy is able to accept the loss by stating her belief that the Lord will someday let her know the reason. In contrast Bob decries that reasoning, and openly begins to express his denial that a supreme being would allow a child so deeply loved by all the members of his family to suffer and die. Peggy is offended by Bobs outrage and demands he stop talking about his anger with God in front of her and the children, or it will be the end of their marriage. Bob agrees to her demands, continues to provide for the family but his arrogance leads to his leaving the security of one job for the self satisfaction he derives from solving others problems and his own desires. It is only through Peggys refusal to move to Bobs newest location that Bob promises to accept a counseling program. The program they select brings Bob to the awareness that he is not the person he really wishes to be.
