"On a peaceful afternoon, Nana and the sisters gathered for today's heartfelt lesson. 'What's family change, Nana?' Brooke asks with innocent curiosity. 'It's about adapting to new situations in our families,' Nana gently explains."
"Brooke shared about her friend Anita, whose family was going through a big change called divorce. 'Why do some parents decide to live apart?' Brooke wondered aloud."
"Nana listened attentively. 'Sometimes, even loving parents find that they can live happier apart,' she replied thoughtfully."
"Nana chose her words carefully. 'Divorce means parents decide to live separately, but they both still love their children very much,' she explained."
"The sisters listened intently, trying to grasp this complex topic. 'Does divorce change how parents feel about their kids?' Sam asked."
"'Absolutely not,' Nana affirmed. 'Their love for you remains the same, strong and unwavering.'"
"'Remember, kids, parents can still be friends and great caregivers even after divorce,' Nana said, ensuring the girls understood."
"Full of empathy for Anita, the sisters asked more questions. 'Will Anita be okay?' Whit asked, her voice laced with concern."
"Nana
patiently tackled each question. 'Anita, like any child in this situation, will need our love and support,' she advised."
"As Nana's words sunk in, the sisters reflected on them. 'Family love endures, even through change,' Nana reminded them."
"With a tender smile, Nana concluded today's lesson. 'Even when families change, love remains,' she reassured them."

Let's offer understanding and support to friends like Anita, who are adapting to family changes. Empathy and kindness can make a world of difference.
"I will…":
"I will be compassionate and supportive to my friends facing family changes, reminding them that love remains constant."
Final Statement - "The Importance of Knowing":
Grasping the concept of divorce and family changes helps us support our friends and understand that love persists through life's transitions. Families can adapt and grow, maintaining strong bonds of love and care. Understanding this brings comfort and empathy to both ourselves and those around us.
