And The Years Go By...

As Simon maneuvered his way through the crowded terminal, his thoughts wandered, "Wonder why Uncle Hank would be picking up...What was her name, again?...Marie...No..ummm...Mandie...No, that's not it...What is it?...Maddison! That's it...Guess Dad must have been busy...Mom too...but wouldn't they have sent Lucy or even Kevin to pick her up?...Just doesn't make sense...And why didn't anyone mention anything..."

Once Simon was in reach of the loading/unloading dock, he scanned the two or three luggage carts, looking for his black guitar case. There it was, stuck in between two large, camoflauge duffel bags. "Great, now just grab and go," Simon thought as he turned. As he did so, he nearly collided into a young child, who was holding onto what he assumed was her mother's hand. To avoid from being hit, the little girl, jumped back, as Simon set the guitar case down.

"I'm sorry about that." he appoligized as he glanced down to child and then back up to her mother. Extending his hand, "Hi, I'm Simon...Simon Camden," he stated. As they shook hands, he took in her features, just a tad shorter than himself, medium build, chocolate brown eyes, and beautiful, long wavy hair to match.

"Renee Nicholson." she stated. Motioning to the child, who stood nearby, "This is Jenny...and no problem, no damage done." she reasured Simon. Then came that awkward silence, where both stood there, not really wanting to leave, but not having anything else to say or do. So, regretfully, Simon, sighed, "Well, it was nice meeting you both." Picking up his guitar, he started to walk away.

"Wait!" Renee called out. "what did you say your name was?" she asked.

Simon, turned back around, "Simon Camden" he replied. Noticing, the puzzled look cross her face, he asked, "Why?"

Ignoring his question, she asked one her own, "Are you by chance related to a Matt Camden?"

"Yes, he's my older brother." Simon replied. Racking his brain, he wondered how she knew Matt. Racking his brain, he tried to place the name and face among the many gals, Matt had dated over the years, but shook his head. Appoligetically, he inquired, "Should I know you?"

"Well, you were younger, it's been about eight or nine years now. Matt helped me deliver my baby." She paused, " my baby girl...Jenny."

Slowly, he remembered, "Oh my,...I remember now. You had her same day, we had Grandma Jenny's funeral...Wow, it has been awhile." Glancing down to the young child, "So, you're Jenny?" Jenny shyly nodded. Then, speaking to Renee, Simon asked, "So, what brings you to Glenn Oak?"

Glancing at the surroundings near her, "It's time to move back home. Hopefully, for good." Renee smiled, as she continued. "I want Jenny to grow up where I did, in a small, caring community."

"That's great." Glancing down at his watch, Simon, exclaimed, "Oh my gosh...my uncle is waiting out in the parking lot for me." Grinning, he teased, "He's going to think I got lost. I've to go, but why don't you come over for dinner...the family would love to see you and Jenny." Grabbing his guitar case, Simon asked, "So, we will we you?"

"Sure, if you're sure it be an imposition." Renee agreed.

Briskly walking away and a quick wave, Simon hollered over his shoulder, "no, no, the more the merrier!"
