But I have not seen your mother did she travel?, I am hosting a book club and I would love it, if she would come. "That was nice of you but I am afraid my mom will not be able to join you, why not?", me eyes welled up as I tried to contain my emotions but I could not." "Did I say something wrong?",no you did not,then why are you crying?,well because my mother is no longer with us, she left me alone in this world. Oh dear, I am so sorry, no it is fine,you do not have to apologize, so you are saying it is only you and your step fa

My step father and I entered Mrs Amira's house,we were welcomed by two women that I am sure I should know,everyone here leaves in the neighbourhood.We were sent to the backyard where the get together was,I must say Mrs Amira put in a lot of effort. The decorations were very pretty and there were chairs in the backyard,not long a couple came up to us and my step father immediately stiffened.         Mr Dario long time,the man greeted my step father,good evening Mr Agida my step father greeted back,how are you enjoying the party?,everyone in this neighbourhood contributed into it and the women helped in the catering,except you and your daughter,I personally came to tell you about the get together so why did you not  help in organizing it?,before my step father could reply Mrs Agida jumped in to say her part.My husband is quite right Mr Dario,I am sorry about that,it is just we do not enjoy this type of things my step fat
