Until my brother was born, I was always closer to my father because I was kind of like the de facto son, I guess. As I got older, I got closer to my mom and now she lives near me so I see her more, but to be honest, a lot of times she gets on my nerves even though I love her

I don't keep in touch with my dad as much as I should but I am trying to be better about that and I'm hoping to take Ellie to visit him in Texas this summer.
