I had been away from the country for a good two years working away from home on a project. Having signed off the deal and delivered the goods, I decided that I would come back home for Christmas to see my family since I last saw them when I was I was 20.
Over Christmas things were crazy. My parents were still working and usually no one would be at home. It was two days before and I was home alone when I heard the door go. I found one of my neighbors standing outside with his son Jimmy. He asked if I would be kind enough to put him up overnight, while he took his father to the hospital. I agreed since it wasn't really a hassle for me and he said he had already cleared it with my parents.
