"I missed you bunny, Francis say engaging me into a hug squeezing the life out of me. I wrapped my arms around his big frame and patted his back. He finally released me as I let out a big breath of relief.

" So how have things been?"

" great..... I finally payed for my mom's surgery, she came out successfully and is recovering, I said as he smiled widely.

" That's amazing, I'm proud of you, you see, I told you that having hope helps, he replied running a hand through my hair like I was a child. I pushed his hand away playfully but he just laughed.

" I want to come with you on your next visit"

"Sure, I'll let you know when"

" OK. I'm going to my room, I'll be right back, he said whilst leaving the kitchen with his bag on his shoulders.
