Disclaimer: Not mine. Don't sue.
Josiah is at peace. He reaps what he sows, is comfortable with the yearly toil on the farm. He is happy here. Contented, perhaps.
He wonders, sometimes, what became of the others. Wonders if Vin Tanner ever made it out of Texas alive; wonders if JD had ever become the businessman he had hoped. (That one had been Ezra's influence, Josiah remembers. The two of them had set off for Boston, determined to make their way).
Sometimes Josiah thinks of those who died. Of Chris and Buck and Nathan. He wonders if they made it to the holy gates.
Mostly he tends the earth.
