elizabeth boland.

"KIDS!" i call out to my children, "lunches! line up." they line up from oldest to youngest.

as the line moves shorter i give them each an 'i love you', at the end stands dean, "tuna fish. make sure to-", "-keep it cold, i know." he pecks my cheek.

dean and i have been married for 20 years, throughout those years we've had our problems like everyother couple. ive had my doubts, like getting married at a young age for one.

we got married when we were just 22, i was a senior in college barley able to buy groceries.

getting a job was my biggest priority, i had just gotten let go from my crappy fast food job, dean offered to help me, i declined but he insisted.

he proposed after 7 years of dating and now we're here.

"come to boland motors and we'll put the vroom vroom back in your engine." i hear distinctively, 'shut the hell up' i thought.

it was the same old advertisement that played everyday, every morning at 8 am

the girl looked young maybe her early twenties, she's deans assistant, not too surprised about that.

"knock knock!" my sister annie comes through the side door along with ruby behind her.

"hey." i set out three glasses infront of them and pour some bourbon.

"im laying off the alcohol but thank you betty." annie pushes the glass away.

"is she really?" i look towards ruby, she instantly shakes her head.

"this is a well needed drink." ruby sighs and leans forward.

"what's going on?"

"sara, she's getting worse. i heard about this medicine but it's like 30 grand to cover the whole year, stan and i don't know what to do."

sara, ruby's daughter has had a failing kidney since she was born, since then there hasn't been a match yet.

"what about the gofundme?" i hold her hand.

"it's not enough." she whispers.

"gosh, i am so sorry ruby. i'm sure you and stan will come up with something, annie and i can pitch in too." i look at annie watching her as she nods her head in agreement.

"huh" annie scoffs.

she points to the tv and says "i wonder who she had to bone to get that job."

i wonder who.
