_Time Skip One Year Later_
It's been a year since Alice had died, and Adam Cartwright had been doing much better along with his children. He has taken to the responsibilities, and though his children were still young, and he had more trials coming his way with them he knew all would be fine. And watching his six and four year old play in the yard through a window while he held his youngest his only girl who was a year old., who had captured his hat and was playing with it,
He couldn't be happier, even as he had stayed here with his Pa and brothers for a year with his children. He wouldn't be moving back to his home where he and Alice lived though. Instead Adam had decided and with the help of his brothers and Pa built a house on Ponderosa land about five miles from the main house. He and his children would be moving in there soon.
Sighing the man placed the one year old on the floor and watched her crawl off, he watched her carefully as she made her way in front of the couch, he followed and took a seat in one of the chairs watching his daughter pull her self up by holding onto the table. He smiled, though felt saddened. Even though it had been a year he still couldn't help but grieve that his wife wouldn't be seeing their children grow, along with their achievements, but then again it was a lie.
Grayson had stopped him one day, after he learned to ride a pony and ask. "Mama saw me didn't she? She saw me ride up in heaven right Pa?" It was only weeks ago, and he had agreed with his son that she had saw. And he believed it in a way, and somehow knew Alice was seeing her children grow from up above. She was watching over them.
This is really short but I thought it would be a good ending.
And I know a lot of people wanted to see hwo Adam would do once they were older, and they will, I'll be writting more stories on Adams children and such but this one was just for Adam and showing him losing is wife.
Until next story.
