By Airplane

My parents headed to Florida today. By airplane. Yes, airplane. While this is certainly the most efficient and safe way to travel, my parents always get a little nervous before flying.

When Nick and I were young, I must say, they were very responsible parents. They would always take separate flights to the same place. They hated the thought of us being left parentless, so they figured one was better than none. Plus, our legal guardians really weren't capable!

Now that we are grown, apparently we don't need our parents. That is the message they are sending by flying together. Anyways, I could tell it was still on their minds when I received a phone call last night.

After all was said and done, it was made clear what my parents would like to happen if, indeed, their plane went down. Since there would be enough money to live comfortably, Jeff and I were asked to return to New York's capital region. We were asked to watch over the family, Grandma, the aunts, and mainly my big brother, Nick. We would become his legal guardians. Seems like a normal chain of events, right? Yea. The good news, they made it safely to the Sunshine State. Now, just to make it home!
