“My sister is the youngest in our family and it was a huge shock for my mom when she decided to join the navy. She recently found out that she will be stationed in Japan which was even harder for my mom. Two months ago she found out she was going to finish A school in time for Christmas so we decided to surprise our parents. For the past two months we have had to convince my mom and dad not to fly to Chicago for Christmas and that they should do Christmas shopping early. On Friday december 19, when she was coming home my brother even had to pretend to Mail my sister packages for my mom. When we found out our parents would be at the high school girls basketball game we thought it would be the perfect way to surprise them. My sister’s plane got delayed and we had to rush from the airport home and made it with 2 minutes to spare in the game.”
