Only my aunt stayed because she preferred the life in the house she had grown up in. Whenever my mom was telling me of her childhood home, I had a feeling that she missed her life there. I wandered why she was missing this boring life. I had never visited her birth place but wanted to do that, so I made plans to convince my mom to take me to visit my aunt and her town during my spring vacation.

I couldn't believe it when my mom said, "I know you want it. For couple of days you have been begging me to take you to my town for the spring break, and I will." I didn’t expect it to be that easy.

My mom woke me up, and it was the only time when I had woken up so easily that
