Like a tale

I really dislike my current situation between Jarid and I. I really care a lot about him, and I hate that I don’t get to see him for weeks at a time. At least the time that we spent together is memorable. His family is so sweet to me. His grandma cooked lunch for us and took care of us. She doesn’t speak much English, but I have come to find out that she is extremely kind and hardworking. As I was sitting in “Jarid’s” room doing my homework, I heard some clashing about. I look out to see that she is cleaning up some tile mess. It’s at times like this when I realize how different cultures can be.

I came down because of that dang hurricane. It did not do much damage to my home town, but I did hear that it did something terrible to other towns and cities. I’m glad that mine was spared. My family is doing fine which is a major relief. I’m going home tonight which means that tonight will be my last night with Jarid and his family. I really do love to come down. Everyone is just so nice. I know where Jarid gets it from.
