Hope it's nothing too serious. I also hope you'll get a little R&R from teaching.

I was bound to forget someone... They are happily enjoying retirement in Ohio. They go camping and a lot of theater events.

You all are probably wondering what Grandpa did with Robert. Mom said I should just say he used the Tristan method and you all would understand something about making him a unicorn or something like that. I’d like to say things got back to normal but with this family that never happens. Well here’s what happened to everyone: Nathan and Luca finished college and both are running the camp in Pennsylvania. They have had a few bumps in the road but what couple doesn’t? They have also

In chapter 12’s comments I mentioned someone stalking Josh. I guess I half put together something was up. I think Sharon interrupt Mr. Goode and unfortunately she became the victim. I am starting to wonder if the whole conversation between Dylan and Sharon was about his stalking. I am sad to see that Colt is going to be leaving but I understand. Grief over losing a loved one is hard. Kyle is right that he should make too many rash decisions like giving them the house in Florida. In time he may want to go back there and cherish what he and David had. I hope we will continue to see Colt once he departs. Aaron will sure miss him. Awesome chapter!

I had to stop several times reading this. I can relate to what happened as I went through the exact situation with my sister 8 years ago but still feels like yesterday. The David centric chapter was very foreboding that something was going to happen. The I feel tired was a clue for me. David died where he was the happiest at the orchard. He’s touched so many lives and everyone is going to have a hard time moving on, particularly Kyle and Jacob. I know they will get through it but it’s going to be difficult. I kept wondering if any one told Helen and I got my answer… Has anyone told Josh and it makes me wonder what his reaction will be. A very sad but wonderful chapter.

What an interesting chapter to unpack. David working with Matt checking over the trees is such a tender moment. Makes me love David even more. David was absolutely right in taking Matt back to Kyle and Jacob to discuss the fight and Josh. It just wasn't his place to tell Matt and he knew it. Not many people would be able to show that kind of constraint. Chase not wanting to take over the family business isn't that surprising. Many children feel the responsibility to take over their parent's business and don't know how to tell them they don't. Troy has two other children plus the possibility of Andy's boys taking over. My money though is on Emily taking over. Ah, the proverbial Smoking Gun.... I would keep that under wraps and then put the sucker on the stand and be like oh you weren't there... but then who's this... roll video. Not professional but it would be hilarious. I can't wait to see how the whole thing plays out. Great chapter!

So Jacob’s family grew by 5 people minimum. I’m glad David took him to see his Uncle and Aunt. The intriguing part was they don’t seem to know about Josh’s existence. I wonder why Joe lied and said both didn’t make it? Jacob and Kyle seem to be heading on a better path. Now that Jacob has a bit of a background on his fathers upbringing he has a clue as to who his father was. I wonder if Jacob will research his grandparents and read about what happened. That’s what I would do… I hope we get to see a cousin reunion between Jacob and the others. Great Chapter!

David’s going to meet Josh wasn’t a surprise. It fits the David we’ve come to know. It was good to see Josh lower his guard and open up slightly to David. Having someone in his corner other than Kyle is going to help Josh get through this. I also hope some of the people from his past come to support him. I honestly expected something to happen after the court house on the way to jail. I guess there still is the next chapter for something to happen. I expect Dylan to be up to no Goode. I hope Jacob takes Colt’s tough love speech and does something with it. If not getting replacement wood is going to be really expensive. Great Chapter!

I agree that DeSean’s videos may hold a smoking gun. Jacob may not want to talk to Josh based on the sole fact that Josh didn’t go through life with their father. Jacob seems to resent that fact. Not that Josh had a better upbringing by any means. The brothers do need to meet and talk… maybe it will just be them starring at each other. I get the feeling that Josh is excited to have a brother. They also have a whole lot more in common than either realize. Great Chapter.

I half expected Matt to show a picture of Josh. I think Kyle is going to shit a brick when Jacob or Matt ask him who Josh is. Kyle better be careful I think Dylan and his father are dangerous. I also think Dylan’s wife is being abused and may know something about the murder. Maybe she has the scarf?? Great Chapter!

I really thought Kevin was going to spill the beans. Kyle has had so many opportunities to tell Jacob the truth but he keeps hesitating and it’s going to make things worse. Jacob also seems to be a ticking time bomb with whatever memory he’s harboring. I feel things are going to get worse before getting better. Great Chapter!

So we have a suspect pool and a few folks that seem to be prime suspects. I sit here with the suspect list and while the chapter seems to point at one suspect more than the others, that would make it too damn easy and the story would be over rather quickly. It really makes me wonder who was stalking Josh and sending proof to Sharon that they knew something. I feel that whoever is the murderer has been planning it for some time and the opportunity presented itself with Josh getting injured. That is just my theory. On the other hand, Kyle better tell Jacob before shit hits the fan because it won't be evenly distributed and will cause grief. Great Chapter!

Mine were a shock... learned I was German and had Ashkenazi Jew. Despite family living in Hungary for centuries, we had zero in our DNA. On the flip side, my second cousin by adoption is actually my 13th cousin and it wasn't known.

I was half expecting someone to be a half-brother or maybe even a distant cousin. I can't wait to see where you take this. I love doing genealogy and was happy to see it woven into the story. I know the surprises it can bring.

“So just to clarify your parents took you to Emerson and left you there?” Grandpa said angrily. “Calm down, dear,” Grandma said trying to bring Grandpa’s temper under control. “I can’t believe they would do something like this,” Grandpa said and poof he was gone. “This isn’t going to be good,” Grandma sighed. “What’s going on?” I asked and my brothers and Luca were just as puzzled. “I’ll let your grandfather explain.” We sat in silence when Grandpa reappeared holdin
