So I'm one of five kids, and I'm the only
one that, as my mom put it when she was
so alive, is the one that flew the coop and
my dad turned nice in October. My dad's had some
challenges elthwise, and he just he wants his family home
for Christmas, and tickets for a family of four are expensive.

east where your father does, and you're the only one
that lives here in Chicago with your family.

farther than twenty minutes from my dad.
