REPORTER: AT HOME, AMID THE PACKING, THEY READ OVER GOODBYE NOTES FROM FRIENDS. HENRY HOLLIS: "DEAR HENRY, I REALLY LIKED YOU. "EVERYBODY WILL MISS YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE. I LIKE"-- REPORTER: RITUALS SUCH AS THIS ARE IMPORTANT IN HELPING CHILDREN THROUGH WHAT CAN BE A TRAUMATIC TRANSITION. HARRIET HOLLIS: WELL, THEY'VE BOTH HAD NIGHTMARES THIS WEEK. THEY'VE BOTH, "MOM, I HAD A BAD DREAM." SO THEY'VE--I KNOW THAT THEY'RE ANXIOUS. I KNOW THAT YOU SEE SOME OF THIS. REPORTER: HENRY, THE OLDEST, HAS MOVED SIX TIMES ALREADY IN HIS YOUNG LIFE. HENRY HOLLIS: IT'S REALLY HARD TO GO FROM ONE PLACE AND HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CHANGES LIKE MEETING NEW FRIENDS, AND I HAD JUST STARTED MEETING FRIENDS HERE. REPORTER: CHILDREN ARE SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE IN A MOVE. SO IT'S CRUCIAL FOR PARENTS TO LET THEM KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THE FAMILY WILL GO THROUGH TOGETHER.

"WE'VE GOT A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO-- "AND IT'S GONNA BE SUCH AN EXCITING SITUATION FOR OUR ENTIRE FAMILY." REPORTER: AND SO THEY'RE OFF.

ROB HOLLIS: AND WE TALK A LOT ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THEIR OWN ROOMS INSTEAD OF SHARING A ROOM, AND MAKING IT A POSITIVE, AND I THINK THEY WERE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

Chapter 3: Frank McCourt REPORTER: MUCH AS THE HUNGER GNAWED AT FRANK McCOURT IN HIS CHILDHOOD, SO TOO DID THE NEED TO WRITE A MEMOIR SO MANY YEARS LATER. IT IS CALLED ANGELA'S ASHES, IN MEMORY OF HIS MOTHER. FRANK MCCOURT: THE WHOLE BOOK, I THINK, IS INVESTED WITH HER SADNESS, AND I LOOK BACK, AND I FEEL SO GUILTY SOMETIMES, SO SORRY, THAT I DIDN'T TREAT HER BETTER. BUT I THINK WE ALL, WE ARE ALL IMPATIENT WITH HER. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT SHE SUFFERED, THAT SHE HAD HAD THESE SIX CHILDREN OVER FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, AND THREE OF THEM DIED IN THAT FIVE AND A HALF YEARS. REPORTER: McCOURT WRITES OF WHAT HE CALLS A MISERABLE IRISH CHILDHOOD, BEGUN IN BROOKLYN IN 1931 AND CONTINUED IN THE SLUMS OF LIMERICK, IRELAND, WITH AN ALCOHOLIC FATHER AND A PIOUS, DEFEATED MOTHER. BUT HIS STORY IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. HIS WORDS ARE REAL AND RAW, AND THEY ARE WRITTEN IN THE VOICE OF A CHILD. THEY TELL A TALE OF SUCH ABJECT POVERTY AND HUNGER THAT AN IRISH WAKE FOR THE DEAD BECOMES A FEAST FOR A HUNGRY YOUNGSTER. FRANK MCCOURT: THE WAKE WAS ONE PLACE WHERE YOU COULD--IN IRELAND-- WHERE YOU COULD GET FOOD, HAM SANDWICHES AND SO ON.
