"Sam, David, how are you doing?"
"Okay."
"Why are we moving?"
"Because daddy was a minister and the church gave him this house and since he is in Heaven, it is not our house anymore."
"Where are we going to go?"
"You, Simon, David, and Ruthie will live with Aunt Julie and Uncle Hank. I and Kevin will be a few blocks from you, and if you want to visit just let us know and we can arrange for that, okay."
"Okay, I love you Lucy." Sam and David said as they hugged and kissed Lucy.
"I love you guys too."
August 2
The Camden gang has the house cleared of their stuff as well as cleaned for the new owners.
"I'm going to miss this place." Lucy says.
"I know."
"I remember this living room when mom, dad and us had a talk with Mary." Simon says.
"I remember when Simon locked himself in his room and I called 911."
"Remember when we all went to bed the we heard a crash from mom and dad's room and they had broken their bed-"
"Yeah, and they were laughing about it." Ruthie says.
"That was pretty funny, actually." Simon says.
"I just remembered something." Lucy says.
"What?" Ruthie asks as she, Simon and Lucy walk through the house.
"This is the first time that mom went on a cruise with dad." Lucy says.
"It was?" Simon asked trying to remember.
"Remember the first cruise, the one that dad went to by himself? It was like a year ago or so and when you, Ruthie and Mary some problems that you didn't want to talk about."
"Oh yeah, I remember now."
"I forgot about that." Simon says.
"Well, let's go to our new home and get something to eat." Lucy says as the kids left but talked about their lives with their parents.
As Simon, Ruthie, Sam, and David leave, Lucy calls Chandler to tell him that Chuck can move in after that night and thanks Chandler for the help. They all have dinner at Julie's then Lucy leaves to go to her new home where Kevin comes home later that night from work and they talk. Later that week Simon went to the vet to update Happy's shots and changed the addresses on her nametag. A few days later he decided that he wants to try out for baseball so he starts training, learning how to pitch and plays baseball with his friends then later in the day spend the rest of the day with Ruthie and the twins as Ruthie would spend some time with her friends then her brothers. A few weeks later the Colonel and Ruth come back to Glen Oak with some of the things in his truck and her car that was on the trailer. Then a week later Matt and Sarah went to her parents home then found out when they would start working as interns at the Glen Oak hospital and went to Crawford to see what classes they can take and when it starts. A day later they went to the Hastings home for a visit while the Colonel and Ruth were there then they had supper then talked about what they were going to do when school started. As August 16 rolled around the kids thought about their parents, saw on the news there was a memorial wreath laid where the boat exploded for the victims who have not been recovered and died. Julie got Sam, David and Erica registered for kindergarten that starts when Simon and Ruthie go back to school.
At Kennedy-
"Hey Simon, what's up?"
"Hey Jack. You signing up for football?"
"Yeah, what about you?"
"I don't know. I know I want to sign up for baseball. You're graduating this year, right?"
"Yes, I am graduating. Here is some advice, don't over do it, if you feel any pain from football or baseball rest that area. Remember Jason Schmit?"
"Yeah, he played through the pain didn't he?"
"He can never play again because he played so much in pain that the injuries kept coming."
"That's right. Thanks for the advice."
"Oh, I heard about your mom and dad. I'm sorry."
"Thanks, it's weird without them even though my grandparents, sister, sister-in-law and brother moved out here after this happened."
"Really? I wish I had the support like that."
"You do?"
"Yeah, when my dad died, I had to stay with friends and my family wanted nothing to do with me."
"If you don't mind me asking, why didn't they want anything to do with you?"
"No problem. Well, I never knew my real mom and that my dad's family was mad at him dad because he had an affair with another woman when he was married to my mom. I guess my mom divorced him when I was young and she's gone."
"Do you ever wonder what happened to your mom?"
"All the time. I live with foster parents but I don't really care for them since they just feed me but don't ask what I am doing?"
"Gosh, how is it that--." Simon starts to ask as the bell rings.
"I'll see you in class. Don't worry I can take care of myself." Jack says as he and Simon walk to their classes.
"Okay."
"Why are we moving?"
"Because daddy was a minister and the church gave him this house and since he is in Heaven, it is not our house anymore."
