Part 1 of Day 1: The Package

Today Nick the mailman had a package for mom, but she was at work. Nick decides he was going to give it to her on Monday, but my best friend, Lizzy who was very curious about the package, tries to convince Nick to give it us to give it to mom. In the end we succeeded and took it to the apartment. ( Lizzy is my neighbor, childhood and best friend even though she is a girl) When we are back home, I promise not to open the package, but Lizzy convinces me to be her partner in crime, and we slowly open the package. Inside we find a letter, bunch of crumpled newspaper balls, and a very pretty box. The letter was to mom saying the box's keys were messing and sorry for losing them, and it was from a lawyer, (probably a friend of mom). There was a bunch of crumpled newspaper, all from 5 years ago....... the year my dad had died. Lastly there was a box, a very pretty one, engraved with the words, "THE MEANING OF LIFE: FOR JEREMY FINK TO OPEN ON HIS 13TH BIRTHDAY."
