Come Monday morning, you set out early for work. The whole house is filled with joy and love, I actually made Adobo again for the first time (as per Lucio's request). Lucio has a Christmas Gathering at his school that we were preparing all week for. 

He prepared a retelling of A Christmas Carol through a short story, together with his class. What a talented young boy, his vibrancy  automatically draws you in. Santino also gets to be part of the play, of course.

I was cleaning the backyard and happened upon a box tucked behind the dirty sink in the bottom counter. It was not labeled. There's a chance this could be important and I used a small screw to spring it open. 

There I found hospital records and bills from 2012. Everything was there in detail, of how I was in the Intensive Care Unit for three days. How there was a massive stroke in my frontal lobe because of a malformation in my vein and artery

There is a bundle of promissory notes and expired insurance cards. At the very bottom is a copy of a death certificate.
