Dear Jack,
It's been two years since you passed away. The girls are growing up so fast. I wish you were here with us.
Since they started walking and talking, the house has been absolute chaos. They're so much like you, so kind and helpful. The school children love them. Mrs. Wallis, the woman who cares for the girls whilst I'm at school, absolutely adores them. Oh, how I wish you were here to meet them, Jack.
Julie and Tom got married last month. It was a beautiful ceremony and an even lovelier reception. They're really good for each other and have definitely matured since our wedding. Marly and Leah were little flower girls in the wedding, it was so adorable. Luckily there was no fire this time!
There's been many engagements and weddings in the last year or so. Clara and Jesse married a year and a half ago, Faith and Carson are engaged, Katie Yost and Hickam married July last year and one of my old students from the first year I was here, Gem, married a couple weeks ago. All the weddings were beautiful and special in their own way, all in the church that you built us.
In other news, Rosemary and Lee are about to have a baby! I don't think anyone saw it coming, but Rosemary is quite excited, Lee is too. She's about 6 months along, and honestly, I think Lee can't wait for her to give birth, she's a bit of a handful nowadays. Rosemary is utterly positive that the baby is a girl, though everyone else, including myself, think it will be a boy. Clara and Jesse had a baby girl a few months ago, Lillian May. Our twins are girls. And Katie gave birth to a daughter as well, Helen Ruth. We need some more baby boys, or I'll be stuck in a class full of little girls in a few years!
Hope Valley is continuing to grow. There are so many new people and businesses in the town. New families come into the town all the time seeking to work in Hope Valley. It's so lovely and I'm proud to live and work here. I'm teaching a class of 25 children under the age of 10. Whilst Miss Gently teachers 22 students from age 10 to 16. We have so many students nowadays that we had to build a second classroom/schoolhouse for Miss Gently's class. It's close to the schoolhouse that you build, only about 15 metres away and it's a pale greenish colour rather than the grey and blue.
It's almost winter here, it's getting cold. Christmas is just around the corner now, what will I get the girls this year?
I must go and mark some papers. Until next time, my darling Jack.
Your Dearest Elizabeth.
A/N Hey Guys! Sorry for the late update, I'm struggling currently with mental health, and was very out of it last week.
!SPOILERS! but I just wanted to give you a pre-warning for those who don't want to see Elizabeth with someone else, I suggest stopping here if you are just going to hate on her moving on. I'll say it now, Elizabeth will talk about meeting someone! So unfortunately, if you dont want this or are going to send rude reviews about it, just stop reading now!
I'm also very sorry that the chapters are so short, I wish I could make longer ones but I don't have much time.
I don't own WCTH by the way, anything except my own characters, are property of Hallmark and Crown Media.
Have a great day, and listen to the song of the chapter My Blood by Twenty One Pilots!
