When we got , our faces lit up with joy at the of all the lights. My cousins decided that wanted to walk outside and watch the lights. all got out and started walking, but when was time to go back home, we didn't that my youngest brother was not in the .

He had separated from the family, and went see a house all the way at the . No one noticed, and we left him there an hour. He knocked on the house that went to see, and told the people that there what had happened. He knew my cell number, and so he called me. We were to arrive at my house when I got call.
