Prologue to part 2:
I decided to add on to this story instead of a separate one. This is longer then I expected(though still short) but it is to catch you up on what has happened, in my own little world of the Camdens, since the end of the last chapter. J
This is 4 years later. Lucy has graduated from the seminary and is headed back to Glen Oak with Jeremy. Lucy had managed to get all her course work and other work done on the road to becoming a minister through summer courses and other special course times. Lucy had not been home in 4 years, she could not afford to go home, but she was able to spend the holidays with the Colonel and Grandma Ruth and George. Plus various family members had been visiting, like Simon, and then her parents with the twins a few times.
Simon is a sophomore in college in San Francisco. He is studying business. He wants to work for a big corporation in the city. He is only a short plane ride from home. Or he wants to work in LA as a manager of a restaurant that would bring him closer to home.
Matt is still working at becoming a doctor. He is in his third year at Glen Oak Medical School. He is still working at the free clinic. On top of that he is now doing residencies at the hospital. He enjoys working on pediatrics and in the ER. He is still living at home in the attic.
Ruthie is now 16 and has her permit. She transferred to the local private high school last year when she entered the ninth grade. She did not want to go back into the public system and her grades gave her full scholarship to the school. She was involved in a bunch of after school clubs.
Sam and David are in second grade. They were as much trouble as ever. They keep their mom, dad and brothers and sisters on their toes.
Mary is still at home and in her junior year at Glen Oak College. Mary had decided to finally go to college. She was going for political science and working to become a police officer. She was talking to Wilson again, they weren't sure where it was going but at least they were friends.
Last but not least Robby has graduated and is working at Glen Oak elementary school as a PE teacher and is an aid to the after school care program. He is enjoying every minute of it. He is living in the garage apartment since Lucy went to New York and Mary moved into her old room in the middle of her freshman year at GOC.
