downhill.”
“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to close it down?”
“If things don’t change, it looks like that is what I’m going to have to do.”
“Haillee, I’m so sorry to hear that. You worked to hard to get that restaurant going.”
“I did put a lot of time and effort into the restaurant. It’s my baby, you know that.”
“Of course I do. I was so proud of you when you opened that restaurant and the fact that you did it all on your own was truly amazing.”
“Well, I met with this man that says that he can turn the business around. He is a master at what he does and he thinks that he can save the restaurant, but it’s going to need a complete overhaul.”
“That sounds expensive, Honey.”
“That’s the thing, it is going to be very expensive and I don’t have the money to do it.”
“How much is it going to cost?”
“Probably in the ballpark of $30000 or more.”
“That is a lot of money.”
“I know it is and that is the reason why I’m calling. I was hoping that you and Dad could lend me the money,” she says, relieved to finally get the question out.
“Honey, you know that money isn’t an issue for us, but what I’m wondering is if the money is going to be worth spending. Would it be better to just close the restaurant and use the money to start something new?”
“Essentially, spending the money revamping the restaurant would be like spending it on something new. The restaurant is going to be completely different. It would be like out with the old and in with the new. You know what I mean?”
“I do. Is this something that you really and truly want to do?”
“It is, Mom,” she says. “You know that I wouldn’t be asking you guys if I didn’t really need it.”
“I know that, as sure as the sky is blue. You haven’t asked your father and I for much. You’ve always wanted to do things on your own. You’ve been that way since you were a child.”
“Things haven’t changed much, Mom. I wish that I could solve this problem on my own, but it looks like it can’t be done. I would really like it if you could help me. I would like it and I would appreciate it.”
“I know you would. It always amazes me how you didn’t end up being entitled, especially with the upbringing that you had. You could have led a life of leisure, but you always wanted to work. You’re an amazing young woman and I’m very proud to call you my daughter.”
“Thanks, Mom. Will you help me?”
“Of course we will. You’re father and I would love nothing more than to help you. You’re our daughter and we’d do anything for you.”
“Thank you so much, Mom.”
“You’re very welcome. I will transfer the funds into your bank account as soon as I can.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too, darling.”
“Tell Dad I love him, too.”
“I will. Talk to you soon.”
“Okay. Bye, Mom,” she says and hangs up the phone.
The conversation went exactly how she expected it to go. She knew that her parents would have no problem lending her the money; she just hated to ask them. As she was growing up and she began to recognize that she had more than the average person
