Hi Melissa, are you going home this weekend?

No, not this weekend. I have too much work to do.

Where do your parents live?

My father lives in Washington DC.

How about your mother?

My mother died two years ago.

Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Is your father still working?

No, he's retired.

Do you have any family here?

Yes, two of my cousins live here and my aunt and uncle live about 30 miles from here.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Yes, I have two brothers who live in New York and a sister who lives in Boston.

Do you see them a lot?

Not as much as I'd like to. Usually just on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
