Family

Mum's gone now and Dad's all alone, rattling about in the family home. Can't get in touch with the silly old bugger, my sis is worried, I'd love to hug her but she's in Cornwall and I'm in Wiltshire. A fair few miles just to see her. My Bro is also not so near but in my heart, I hold so dear. I hope that Dad's not had a fall! I'd better check I'll make that call.
