Dear Jack,
It's been a year since your death. I can't believe it! Have I ever said how heroic you were? Saving those two mounties' lives even though it cost you your life? It was. I met them last week. Both came to Hope Valley to say thank you. It was quite lovely, hearing stories of your last few weeks.
Lt. Nathan Grant, one of the Mounties you saved, has stayed and taken your post here in Hope Valley. He is quite lovely, though extremely quiet. The children from school are a little skeptical about having a new Mountie, I think they're a little scared that if they get close to him, something might happen. I'll have to help them with that.
The girls are now five months old. I can't believe it! They've grown so much already. Marly is definitely a little girl after her daddy's heart. She's a sweetheart, very outgoing and always smiling. Leah is a little more skeptical and quieter, but still a sweetheart. I love them both so much. It's going to be difficult when I start working again next month.
Which brings me to the topic of school. We've had many new families come to the town in the last few months that we've got too many children for one class. We've split the students into two smaller classes now. A new teacher, Miss Gently, Holly, teaches the older students, and I will be teaching the younger students, Rosemary is substituting for me until I return. I'm sad that I will no longer be teaching all of my original students but look forward to meeting and teaching the new ones. Mrs Wallis, has offered to care for the girls while I am at school, I'm going to miss them dearly during the day.
I'm glad the town is expanding. New businesses and opportunities are arising, and the town is booming. I think you would be proud of how far we have come. I sure am. I remember when I first came to Coal Valley and the roads were muddy, and the streets were quiet and blackened with coal dust and dirt. Now it's so clean, bright, busy and beautiful.
I must go now. There's some cleaning to do and babies to feed. I love you.
Your Dearest Elizabeth.
Hey Guys! Look 4 chapters and 2 days of uploads in a row. Geez. Haha.
I just really quickly wanted to address a review. I dont want to see anything saying "nice try. but you cant fix the show" or anything similar, or especially anything that is an attack at me, the writers of the show and/or the cast! These reviews will be deleted and I will not tolerate them. Please think before you review, and if you don't like the story, click the back button and read someone else's. Thank you.
I hope you enjoyed! Have a great day and God Bless.
