Dad is traveling for his business this week.\u00a0 Mom is still not feeling well after two weeks of being sick and Dad even seems concerned.\u00a0 Before he left on his trip he got us three kids all together and asked us to help Mom and be extra kind to each other.\u00a0 Sometimes my brother and I fight with each other.\u00a0 I guess it\u2019s just what boys do, but it really gets on Mom\u2019s nerves.\u00a0\u00a0 My sister Becky gets very upset when we\u2019re going at it.\u00a0 Maybe we need to begin acting as brothers and good friends and not as enemies.\u00a0 After all, we really do like each other.\u00a0 We promised Dad that we would be helpful to Mom while he\u2019s traveling this week.\u00a0 I wish he didn\u2019t have to leave.\u00a0 I miss him when he has to go out of town. \u00a0I guess I need to start really praying for Mom to get better.\u00a0 I did two weeks ago but forgot to pray for her last week. When she is not feeling well our house does not run right.<\/p>\n
