your brother.”
                Jenny smiled again, Jason was always thoughtful and considerate that way.  “Four’s fine.  Thomas usually heads back about four thirty or five anyway.”  Thinking for a minute she asks, “How’d you know Tom was coming in today?”
                Jason paused for a bit then apparently decided to admit, “We talk.  He said he’d visit your parents today.”
                “Oh.  I’ll be ready to go at four.”
                Jenny got in her car and headed home.

    4 – SHARING THE HUNGER
     
     
    It was a little after one o’clock Sunday afternoon at the Frank’s household.  Lunch was over, the kitchen was now clean and it was time for their little family discussions.
                Jennifer gathered her tray of beading supplies and headed for the den.  Her brother Thomas would be going back this afternoon to the University of Florida and Shand’s Hospital of Gainesville .  It was always and forever Gator Country at their house, where they all cheered the football team yearly.  Her dad and mom were alumnus.
                She enjoyed listening to Thomas chat about his experiences in medicine, some were hair raising.  She was proud her sibling managed to help save so many lives and was so dedicated to learning new and groundbreaking techniques, some that no where else in the world were being accomplished or taught. 
                The other half of Jennifer’s enjoyment was hearing him talk about the woman they all knew would be his wife after his medical residency was over, if not sooner.  He was really in love with her and couldn’t manage to talk for five minutes without mentioning something about her in the conversation.  He had it bad, they all knew, and he’d been that way for a couple of years now.   His love for her was growing not waning.
                His special lady, Celeste, was a registered nurse getting her physician’s assistant certification license, a PA-C.  She’d gotten married real young and had a little girl who was now three.  Her ex deserted her when she was still six months pregnant and he sadly didn’t want anything to do with his precious little daughter.   He’d moved on with his selfish life and already had another wife and two children.  Celeste couldn’t even manage to get a few dollars each month in support for their child.  Thomas didn’t want her to pursue the support any longer, he planned on adopting Tammy when they married.
                Celeste had managed many hardships trying to study and raise her daughter.  Thomas was thankful her family had been so helpful to her, even now they baby-sat Tammy almost every day.  Neither wanted her in daycare until she was at least four, for health reasons, if at all possible.  Kids caught so many diseases from other children when they’re so young, they hoped to keep her away from these problems.  The diseases these days were far more than the mild types of measles and mumps they had when they were children.
                Everyone noticed quickly how Thomas acted as though Tammy was his own daughter, though sadly she wasn’t.  He was already making a fantastic father Jennifer realized with a prideful smile at her brother.
                Celeste had to work this weekend or she and Tammy would have come to visit along with Thomas.
                “Tom,” their dad asked with a knowing nod at his son, “when are you two going to set the date?”
                Thomas looked startled for a brief moment, swallowed a little nervously and glanced at his mom before admitting, “We hope before the end of August this
