Lost in transit

Visits

So my wife had accumulated some frequent flyer miles and the elderly relatives are falling in the bathroom and not getting up or running pools on what will get them first, the aneurysm or kidney failure or congestive heart disease, so although we can't afford it my youngest daughter and I are traveling at the end of the month for a quick week to see a generation while it's still possible. She's packed some books for her grandfather to read to her. She'd been looking forward to seeing my brother's baby crocodile, so when it choked on some crickets he put it in the deep freeze for her. She's six and counting the days. She has our seat numbers memorized.
