Epilogue

It's been a month since my older brother and younger sister and I lost our parents in the car accident. And we are beginning to adjust to another new life; we are all adjusting to life here at the Brown's. The loss of our parents makes an odd sort of bond between Robbie, Rosie, Ephram, Delia and I. A weird little family we make, and we will be a family or so Doc Brown says that as soon as they can fill out all the proper paper work they are going to adopt us into the family. We're keeping the name Carter, it' s just nice to have a place to belong, people to belong with. Ephram's learning the same thing and slowly he is beginning to adapt and to belong in Everwood...well belong as well as he possibly could. All 6 of us went on a picnic today, it had rained yesterday and the grass was still kind of wet and Rosie and Delia had a great time slipping in the grass...and of course getting grass stains in their clothes. But suddenly in the middle of her playing Rosie stopped, looked up and pointed out the rainbow in the sky. Rosie flopped down on the ground after stating "That's from Mommy and Daddy, they're right there. It's a present to us." I think she brought tears to all of our eyes, thinking about who we had lost. And it made me realize that even though things, situation and people and even moments change the people we have lost will always be with us.
