This story reminded me of the moment of the family saga of the Australian writer Colin McCullough "The Thorn Birds" ... But there the story went very far and as a result, brought misfortune to the main characters.
We can come up with the end of your story yourself. Optimistic, or sad, due to individual desire and mood.
Much honored that the story resonates with an experience already explored by a renowned writer.
Thanks for the relation. And yes, the end probably depends on an individual's desire and mood.
Thanks again @inna-yatsuk, for taking time to read and thoughtfully deliberate.
