My younger brother passed away in 2008 and my mom now spends a ridiculous amount of money on me for xmas. She bought me a J. Flowers 2 X 4 case, 314-2 shaft, and a bunch of other non-pool related items. After she gave me the case I was kind of upset because she didn't need to spend that kind of money on me and she said welcome to being an only child. Pretty much ruined the rest of the day for me and this was the first year where it seemed everyone in my family was somewhat happy. Sorry to bring the thread down but I thought I would explain the story behind it so that everyone didn't think I was a spoiled punk.
