--- Family is not just what we are born into. Family is who we choose to care for. ---
Coruscants' hazy cloud cover dimmed what little light reached down to the mid levels. While it was mid day it looked like dusk.
Kar had been visiting his Family and was just about to leave. He walked out of the door and waved at his mother. She was at it again. She did this every single time he came by. Did she even realize he wasn't ten years old any more?
“Yes mom, jeez, I am a grown man you know. Can you stop mothering me already?!”
He heard his mother answer something in the kitchen but he could not hear her over the noise of her pots and pans full of food and the clanking of the kitchen utility droid. One of his younger sisters stuck her curly-haired head out of the door and laughed wholeheartedly about his obvious embarrassment.
“Right Bro, as if that is ever going to happen. Just let her!”
She said to him and winked. She waved at him, turned and walked back inside. He could see her vanish into the kitchen door. She probably and went to help her mother. She was always eager to help her mom out in the kitchen.
Kar smiled and turned to leave. As the door closed behind him and he walked out onto the Street his Comlink vibrated. He pulled the connected Datapad and checked what was going on. Someone had sent him a message. The sender's holomail address unknown to him and at first he wondered who was sending him messages to his private holomail. Not many people knew this account even existed. He was expecting it to be junk mail. When he opened it however he had to smile even wider and it made his day. Deea was on Coruscant. He had not heard from her for a while and had worried a bit. The girl usually kept him informed about what she was doing and what was up in her life. She had told him about his great life on Nar Shaddaa and how well she was doing. He had been happy for her. She had not had an easy childhood and the fact that she was going places now and leading the good life made him happy. He checked the address she had attached to her message and walked to his rental speeder. This was turning into a full on family reunion he thought and smiled.
