The next day, Grissom came over to the house, and the four of us sat in the living room on separate chairs facing one another.

Lydia and I talked about our treks to San Francisco. Hers starting when she left home and mine starting a few days earlier when I went to find her. Grissom commented on how odd it was that Sara found me and then we had to go to San Francisco, which is her old hometown. Mom agreed that is was strange, so did the other two of us.

It was strange how we were just sitting there talking to eachother. I suppose that most families aren't like ours though. I mean, my dad was dead, my mom was a workaholic, I had jus found a sister, who had just found out who her father was, and he was already part of both of our lives. I'm already confused by that sentence, let alone by living it. The whole thing was so strange and new to all of us, but we all wanted to make the best of the whole thing. So we talked, and we were starting to become a lot closer.

Later, the four of us went to my Grandmother's house. She greeted both Liddy and I with tears and scolding. After answering her questions for about an hour, Liddy and I went to her old room while the other three talked.

We entered the room and I stood at the doorway while she looked around.

"Everything is the same," she sighed dreamily. Then she turned to me with a smile. "Do you know how to ice-skate?"

"No."

"I remembered that I wanted to teach how when you were old enough to learn. I still want to teach you. Whenever I skate all of my friends are impressed and I tell them about my awards. I wish that I would have stayed, but I know that it caused so many changes, most for the better."

"It must have been hard. I want to learn to skate; it would be fun."

"I'll teach you then. Probably when I come back… hmm… most rinks aren't open during the summer, and although I'll come back when this semester is over I won't be able to teach you until my fall semester is over."

"That's awhile. So you're going back to San Francisco?"

"Yeah, I only have one year left, and I can come back here on holidays. At least I don't live half way across the country or anything. I live a few hours away. Plus I think it will make the transition easier for all of us."

"Yeah, I guess so. I'm going to miss you when you go. I didn't expect to become attached to you so quickly."

She came over to me and we hugged. "Neither did I Linds," she whispered to me.

She then told me about every little object in her room, and then we went up to my room, where her diary still was. She picked up the diary off of the bed where it lay. She ran her hand along its cover gently, almost as if it were a breakable treasure.

She sighed softly. "I'm so glad that you found this. It contains all of my forgotten memories, so you probably know more about my childhood than I remember."

"You can hove it back, it is yours after all."

"Thank you."

"I have your letters too, do you want them back also?"

"No, I wrote them to you, they're yours."

"Thanks."

So we just talked about ourselves more and we were becoming close friends. Suddenly she switched topics.

"Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Yeah, I already missed yesterday and now I'm missing today, but it's not that important. I'll go back tomorrow. When does your semester end?"

"In about three more weeks."

"Oh, when do you plan on going back?"

"Probably the day after tomorrow, that way Roxie isn't covering my classes for too long."

"Yeah, I wouldn't want to cover anyone's classes for longer than five days either."

Lydia agreed, and after about half an hour, mom, Gil, and Grandma came into the room. Then we talked some more. We were all starting to become a family, and I liked it. We stayed at my Grandmother's house for dinner, and my Aunt Karen's family came over. Liddy was welcomed back warmly and with tears. At about seven we returned home. When we got there, Gil said that he had to get going. He then hugged the three of us goodbye.

So I now had two new members of my family, I was starting to like it.
