Christmas was coming and Lissa was very excited

I cannot wait for my father to come on Christmas eve!

A while later Lissa and her family heard their father was in the hospital and that he probably would not come back. They were devastated. Their mother was the most devastated of all.

When the kids came from school they would always see their mother crying on their father's coat.

The family decided to take a trip in Washington to get their minds off things 

then go to the hospital to visit their father.

They drove and drove but they skipped the trip and went to the hospital

After a while, they arrived.
