Baby, I learnt the hard way, family do stick together, no matter what. They may not always be there, they may not always be physically close to you, but there is one certainty to which you can depend when it comes to “family”, “Family” always care for you. They always love you, and always want nothing but the best for you.
Very true.
Yes, like bakasi said, this is better. I don't know how sad I thought it was though. But that is a lot for a kid to learn.
And thanks for using 'mom' instead of 'mum'.
And as for cherries... I have no idea if they grow in Kansas, but they do grow in Kentucky, and they are at close to the same latitude so I'd say it's entirely possible.
