Dad decided to teach me how to drive don't worry he lived on a farm so the back roads was always dead the only thing you saw wild animals like rabbits shrunks squirrels possums and deer sometimes wild cat or a dog that needed a home we came home dirty every day Mrs Taylor was lucky she had like 3 bathrooms but dad was teaching me how to drive it's so I didn't have to ride the bus to town my mom to my dads house I loved driving it kinda made me feel like an man driving on the farm was good I got to do few donuts and drove around between the sheds horses and cows and pigs
Dad was impressed I picked up quick we did almost drove over trains tracks but dad saved us
And I also drove into Mr donarld yard and knocked over his apple tree I forgot to say he had apple tree and cherries brushes that kids love to steal from he also grew raspberries we sneak in mr donarld yard and eat his cherries and raspberries Cindy love taking pictures of us with this vintage camera she brought in the town she kept having us say everyone say sweet home albrama she love buying small things from vintage store I told her don't buy nothing from there that small to fit in the box because I heard horrors stores about that type of stuff we travel 3 more times in the box we kept visiting grandma she definitely was our grandma because she had stories about dad mom me Cindy was a baby they kinda look a lot like two which was instane sometimes I think im accidentally take grandma out the box but she love it there she shows us many memories she remember lot of date she remembered when she meet grandpa and she dated him getting her first kiss in a drive Thur movies place she remembers when dad brought home Anastasia she said she was a tomboy like Cindy loved boxing and horses ... she said grandpa used to try dress up like Elvis Presley we never meet grandpa she said she miss tinker bell her cat I saw him a few of dad's memories when he was a kid he used to camp outside in a tent of her backyard and had thing to look up into the sky and see alll the stars and he loved power rangers and Star Wars we was traveling to the box so much we rushed to eat dinner skipped watching tv and or pretend to go to bed but dad would catch us and go with us a few times to say hide to grandma I think being in the box dad somewhat hide his own family trauma he never thought the box was good gift a curse maybe but a gift no
Dad said the box was staying here with him because he didn't want it to get stolen in the city but I think he wanted to keep here because he wanted to keep seeing his mom she was so happy beautiful and  healthy
Dad I said on my last night we was sitting outside of his back porch he was grilling some hamburgers and steak and hotdogs for us and my dog of course I said how come the box doesn't have any memory of mrs Taylor do you notice that grandma only mentioned my mom ?
He smiled and sipped his beer
Don't you want grandma to know you got new woman?
He said son that why there memories those are my memories at the time maybe in few years she be in the box also
I'm guessing those were his most happy memories not saying mrs Taylor wasn't love or right for him I'm just saying maybe dad secretly still loves mom and I never would complain and force it I come to accept things just the way
Then dad said Mickey wait until you start dating then you let me know if I'll made the rights choices
I laughed well that be soon because there this one girl that Cindy knows
He turn around oh yeah
I'm have my hands full soon between you dating and school and Cindy dating soon as well Mrs Taylor daughters oh lord help your old man out
We like the brandy bunch
