Dad came home today with a sad look on his face. I didn't know why until now. I over heard them talking while I was watching my brother and sister. My dad had just lost his job and all of the money we had invested in the stock market was lost. We are facing tough times, and my dad said that he wasn't going to be able to pay the house bill. We just don't know what we'll do next.
