January 30, 200818 yr Author 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..."
January 30, 200818 yr Author Bo shook his head a little, leaning against the couch."I was too young back then to remember something like that..."
January 30, 200818 yr Author 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..."
January 30, 200818 yr Luke nodded a little. " I miss her" he said before he realized his own words and stopped himself.
January 30, 200818 yr Author 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.
January 30, 200818 yr "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.
January 30, 200818 yr "She'd be right proud of ya," began Jesse. "All of ya."Luke sighed nodding a little.
January 30, 200818 yr Author 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..
February 1, 200818 yr Author 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..."
February 1, 200818 yr Author "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..."
February 1, 200818 yr Author 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.."
February 1, 200818 yr 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.
February 1, 200818 yr Author 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.
February 1, 200818 yr Author 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.
February 1, 200818 yr 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!"
February 1, 200818 yr Author "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!"
