BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Bo frowned and looked over, biting his lip as he started to think."Uh...I think I was about...4...maybe 5...means you was 8 maybe 9..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Luke nodded a little. "Remember when that was taken?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Bo shook his head a little, leaning against the couch."I was too young back then to remember something like that..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 "I...I think it was right before your first campout..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 *bites his lip a little, nodding*Could have been... Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Luke just looked at the picture thoughtfully, trying to remember. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Jesse shrugged a little, not actually remembering himself it had been that long ago."Sometimes your Aunt just liked t'take pictures of ya both...reminded her and you two sometimes that even from the greatest tragedy can come something that helps us all heal and grow..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Luke nodded a little. " I miss her" he said before he realized his own words and stopped himself. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Jesse sighed softly and nodded along with Bo and Daisy, none of them upset or offended by his words. It was just stating a truth, Lavinia's passing had left a large hole in the family members hearts that had never been able to be filled in, there wasn't a day that had gone by that something hadn't reminded them of her.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 "We all do honey," she said softly rubbing Luke's back a little.Luke just sighed, hiding his face a little embarrassed by the show of emotion. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Bo smiled a little and reached over, squeezing Luke's shoulder gently. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 "She'd be right proud of ya," began Jesse. "All of ya."Luke sighed nodding a little. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Bo nodded too, looking to a picture of her standing with the three of them - Him, Luke and Daisy...she had always had such a motherly glow about her.. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Luke swallowed softly thiking the same things, only keeping them to himself. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 Bo sighed softly and kept turning the pages, soon coming to a stop at one."Hey Luke I remember this one...this was when you just got back from camp..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Luke nodded looking at the picture. "I was sure glad to be home..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 "I was glad you were home too if'n I remember ya rightly..."Jesse chuckled and nodded, looking at the photo."You was so glad he was home that ya barrelled into his legs and knocked him down even though you was only 7 an' he was 11..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Luke chuckled. " I never saw him run so fast..."*flashback* Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 Jesse smiled as he pulled into the farmyard in the truck, stopping it and leaning over, shaking Luke who had fallen asleep."Luke...Luke we's home.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Luke blinked his eyes open and sat up looking out thewindow with a happy sigh, never having been so homesick, though he would never admit it. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 Jesse smiled, knowing how the boy felt really though he wouldn't show it, getting out the truck and heading inside, letting Luke come in in his own time. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Luke got out slowly after him, taking his bag with him, and heading inside. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 Before Luke could get halfway to the house however, Bo had jogged onto the porch, seeing Luke with a delighted shriek of the older boys name and running quickly to him, crashing straight into his legs. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Luke felt himself knocked to the ground when he had just reached the first step, looking up with a smile at his baby cousin who sat on his stomach. "Hey Bo!" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 "Hey Luke!"Bo shouted back, even though he was sitting right on top of Luke before leaning down and hugging his older cousin."I missed you!" Quote
