It was finally time for everyone to come over and so many people did. First was my oldest aunt and uncle with their three kids who were all older than me. Second people were my other grandparents, my father's parents. Third came many unfamiliar people who my mom seemed to know very closely. I was told they were my cousins, there were eleven of them who came. Next came the rest of my aunts and uncles and cousins. Finally came My grandma and grandpa, my mother's parents.

    We all were talking and getting to know each other when all of a sudden a knock was at the door. My mom looked around and made sure everyone was here. So now nobody knew who was at the door, so my mom slowly walked to the door and opened it. She froze completely so I quickly got up and went to see who was there. I looked over her shoulder and could not believe it at all. I felt myself almost pass out but one of my cousins caught me then dropped me when they seen who was at the door. After that almost every person got up and looked out the door and yelled "Pallo!" because Pallo was my father's name. I almost fainted but my mother caught me.

    "Aren't you dead?" Yelled my mother.

    "I was kidnapped and sent to a jail for three years." He said, "They lied to you when they found me dead. But I am here now and I am ready to make up for all of those three years." He then looked over at Leo and then at me. He stepped closer to me and looked into my eyes and tears started to fall from his eyes.

"My beautiful children have grown up so fast." He said as he went and picked up Leo. Leo didn't know who he was at all but Leo loved meeting new people so when my father got down to Leo's height, Leo gave him a big hug. We spent the rest of the dinner with the family and in disbelief still that my father was here. My grandparents, his parents, were crying and so were my aunts and uncles. My mom just couldn't keep her eyes off of him and she looked so happy. She was next to him the entire time during the dinner and I couldn't be happier to say that my mother is the happiest woman in the world.

    After the day of the dinner, I had to go back home to Mono, she has been calling me since I woke up, I woke up because she kept calling my phone. She told me that I have to come home now because Matt got a job and we need to throw him a surprise party. She also just missed me. I really didn't want to come home because I had met my dad again. I didn't tell Mono about the whole situation yet.

    After I had packed I gave Leo a hug but he didn't let go, I finally got him to let go but he was sad so I gave him a plastic robot keychain that I had gotten from the quarter machines at the grocery store. He was happy. I told my mom and dad that I had to go now and my dad looked confused but my mother explained it to him as I walked out the door. My dad decided to drive me to the airport.

    I was waiting for Mono to pick me up because she offered to this time. I finally seen her car and after she parked, she jumped out and waved at me and had a goofy smile on her face. One of those smiles where when you try to hide it, you just smile even more. She giggled and grabbed some of my bags. It was a hour and a half away from Mono's house.

    I noticed Mono was really focused on the road while me and her were laughing about the stuff we were talking about. She stopped at a stop light and we were both waiting for it to turn green again. All of a sudden a loud horn bursted through the air and a large semi truck was right in front of the car. Then everything went in slow motion, my entire life flashed before my eyes and I couldn't see anything anymore.
