Going Back to School

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's my youngest brother's birthday today. Since I can't greet him [or any of my loved ones] in person, I make it a point to call him on his birthday. I usually call him very early in the morning [his time] because he works the graveyard shift and he's normally on the road going home from his job at around 6 AM. It's been a while since I spoke with him. I think the last time was on Skype when I spoke saw and spoke with almost all of my siblings and their families back home.

Hopefully, she'll be able to finish whatever it is she's going to take.
