Receiving a meeting message from my family is probably the worst thing I could wish upon myself. The moment I got that message I knew something was wrong and I tried my best to come up with an excuse nott go but there was none that I could possibly use, especially with a father like mine. We grew up with the rule that family comes first before anything and we all swore to do whatever it takes to take care of and be there for our family. Whatever it takes.
