Family of Five Down to Four by Anjhela Henry

Family and family time is very important for Antoine which is why he had to get his family in top shape before he left. He is leaving for his dream school, and he knew he had to get his family closer before he went away. Since quarantine started, he has been going out of his way to get closer with each person in his family and drawing everyone closer with each other. There have been ups and downs, but the whole family has grown a lot over quarantine. Each family member is feeling a great amount of emotion about him leaving because of how big of an influence Antoine has been on his family. Now that he is gone, there is a big question of will the family fall apart, stay close, or get closer together.
