It was once again time for my mom and younger brother Adam to head out to the Gronkowski household. We used to do this a couple times a year, but with all of us getting older, it got harder and harder. So now, we usually only do it once or maybe twice a year. This time is happened to be during the holidays. It was December 27th and we are flying out. All 5 of the Gronkowski boys would be home with their father for the holidays. Although Rob did still have to go to practice to prepare for the upcoming Patriots game. Right as we we about the leave for the airport my mom got this call. She looked at her phone and it said restricted caller ID.
She answered it anyway.

"Hello" said the unknown caller.

"...Br...Bra....Brad...?" said my mother in a confused and questioning voice.

"Hey honey." My father said.

My mom immediately burst into tears. She got out of the car and shut the door behind her. I felt like I should give them some privacy, so I didn't get out. About 10 minutes later my mom got back into the car.

"What was that about? Who was it? Was it dad? Is he coming home?" I began to ask her.

"Yes, that was your father sweetie. But he isn't coming home. He called to tell us that they are giving him one plane ticket to fly one of us out to see him." she said.

"Wait. Only one? Not all three of us?" I questioned glancing at Adam in the back seat.

"Yes Paisley. And I want you to go see him."

I was shocked. Why did she want me to see him? I mean yes he's my dad, but still. I couldn't. It wouldn't be fair.

"No. You are the women he chose to marry. You go see him. I'll take Adam and stay with the Gronkowski's." I said.

She only smiled and gave me a giant hug. I just turned down seeing my father. Who I haven't seen in 14 years. But it was for the best.
