About this ebook
We all have parents; some young, some old. Some offer us love, some offer us gold. From birth, every day we strengthen with age, as our family life story unfolds on the page. And with wisdom abound, we repeatedly travel through customs and check-in, Christmas holiday bound.
Author
Leila Rahimtulla
Leila is a writing student, short story enthusiast, avid traveller and full-time eavesdropper. She enjoys habitual eating and writing acute observational pieces about trusted members of her inner circle. Her parents still regard her as a valued member of the family despite being called ‘overly critical’ and often ‘inappropriate.’
