the free gift page 4 by ric Gustafson


Duncan finished the crayon drawing and handed it to his favorite uncle. " Here Uncle Kirby". He handed him the drawing. " I drew this for you".
" Thank you Tony the Tiger" he replied as he gave him a big hug. " I will keep this forever".
" Tony the Tiger, what are you doing?" asked a young woman who was wearing a large grey sweatshirt and gray workout pants. Just then, she turned her head to see her youngest brother sitting in a chair. " Long time no see".
" Happy Thanksgiving big sister" Kirby replied as he stood up. " I have missed seeing your happy smile".
" I knew you could not miss this Thanksgiving" she said with a smile. Duncan got into her lap and closed his eyes. " Mom and I prayed that you would come back".
" Well, look who's here" replied a young man who sat down with a scowl on his face. " The prodigal son has come home".
Kirby did not stand up to greet his older brother. " Good to see you too Mark".
" So did you spend all of your money or just the majority of it?".
" Please be nice" Helen said as she stared at her three children. " Kirby just got here".
" How long are you staying this time little brother?".
