HIS BRIGHT LIGHT, DANILLE STEEL

In Danielle Steel's His Guiding Light, Steel expressed that its better to try, and then
fail, then to have never have tried at all. Steel's son Nick Traina was a good person; 
He was not a bad kid he was a sick kid. He tried to do his best and wanted people to love
him for whom he was. I want people to know they can believe in me and trust me. Steel
said, All I wanted to do was to help him. Nick was sick and needed help and her heart was
filled with love and hope for him. 
Nick Traina, Was not a bad kid he was a sick kid many people tried to help him throughout
his life. Nick had a mental disorder, and when a person is mentally ill the people that
are supposed to love them give up, and sometimes put them in mental institutions. When
abandoned they tend to feel unwanted and unloved and go into a downward spiral of
depression. That's one thing Steel never wanted Nick to feel, unwanted or unloved. She
was determined to do everything to give her son what he needed. 
Nick was in an ill state of mind, Steel said; All I wanted to do was help him. The only
person that could help him was himself. He wanted to change he knew he was putting the
people he loved through pain, he could not do it on his own. No one can make a person
change; someone can help them, guide them, and love them through their struggle of
change. They will only succeed if they want to. 
Nick said, I want people to know they can believe in me and trust me. When you trust
someone you put all your faith in that person. Steel tried to trust him but every time
she thought she could he would destroy the only trust that she had. She believed in him,
she knew he could get better if he just tried and when he did try things were better. 
The only thing you can do is try, and that's what Steel did she tried to give him the
best life, to understand his pain and turmoil. It is very direful watching a person you
love go through life, day by day battling a demon inside of them, knowing one day the
demon will devour them.
