On September 24th , I returned home. I was away from home for two years. My family was meeting
me at the airport with kisses and tears. They missed me as much as I hasd missed them. I was very happy to
see them again. When I got the chance, I had taken a long look at them. My little brother was no longer
little. He grew at least a foot. He was almost as tall as my father. My little sister wore a green dress. She had
changed quite a bit, too, but she had still been mischievous and inquisitive. She was asking me thousands
questions a minute, or so it seemed. My father was gaining some weight, and his hair turned a little grey,
but otherwise he was just as I had remembered. My mother was looking a little older but not much. The
wrinkles on her face were smile wrinkles.
