The wind blew dirt up into Jimmy's face. He removed his glasses and wiped them clean before returning them to his face. Only to have the wind kick up again almost immediately. Frustrated he started to leave. Until he looked back and saw Victoria still paying her respects. This day was near impossible for him to get through. Ten years since he lost his son and going on nine since he lost his first wife.

Ten years and nine years, on and this week was still miserable for him. Ten and nine years on, and he still could not forget. His life had been destroyed twice all within three hundred and sixty eight eight days. Breena and him had been divorced at the time but that did not make it any easier. His heart broke losing the woman had loved for so many years.

Telling Victoria was the hardest part of all this. She was so young at the times of her brother and mother's deaths. That she did not fully understand what had happened. She was a little more aware when Breena died but death was still a hard concept for her to understand. That meant that Jimmy had to go through the losses again about two years after Breena's death. When Tori was old enough to understand the concept of loss.

For a long time Jimmy was alone in the world battling his depression and struggling to raise his little girl. Ed had moved back to Florida not long after Breena's death. He called a few times a year on holidays, Tori, Eddie, and Breena's birthdays, and on the anniversaries. He did this until he died the year before. After losing his only daughter and grandson to dramatic tragedies. It was a welcome surprise when Ed simply died in his sleep.

A call came in from Ed's number, which surprised Jimmy. It was not one of Ed's days to call and Ed was not one to call unexpectedly. Jimmy knew as soon as he saw who was calling. His heart was already broken when he received the news. Ed's great niece and Breena's cousin was the one who made the call. This time Tori was old enough to know about death. The pair held each other and cried their eyes out. Just another loss to an already shattered family.

Ducky was still alive but now in his nineties. He had developed Alzheimer's about five years prior. Like his mother, Ducky's disease progressed slowly. He had just recently gotten to the point where he could no longer care for himself. He had lived in Assisted Living for about four years now. He went in at his choice. To spare Jimmy and Gibbs, from having to care for him.

Gibbs had retired from NCIS shortly after Ducky's diagnosis. He had fought with Ducky about assisted living. When Ducky refused to give into his request to stay with him. He ended up moving back to Mexico. Like Ed he called a few times a year but was not heard from very much.

Tony and Ziva welcomed a son whom they named Anthony Edward. The twins had graduated from high school and moved out of the house. Tali had just started the eighth grade. Anthony Edward was nearly ten.

McGee and Delilah welcomed one child a few months after Eddie died. They ended up moving to Japan when McGee was once again offered the Cyber job. This time with double the money and paid tuition to an English speaking school for their son.

Abby moved away about seven years ago. She was offered a great job out in California. She went round and round but ended up taking the job. Last Jimmy heard she was married and had given birth to a baby girl.

Jimmy just went on with his life. He did his best to care for Tori largely on his own. Being a single father was not an easy task. Having to be both parents was hard enough, but the worst part was seeing Tori long for a mother. His heart broke every time he saw the way she looked at a classic family. The family she'd once had.

Dating was just not an easy task. Jimmy was a busy man working up to ten hours a day and then having to be a single father. He did go on a few dates in that time, largely set ups by well meaning friends. Most relationships did not last past one date and none lasted longer than six months. Finding time was hard enough. Moving past Breena was harder.

He had all but given up on dating. When he met a woman at his grieving parent's support group. Like Jimmy she had lost her son to cancer. He died of a rare form of pediatric bone cancer. Like Eddie young Peter had suffered for years before finally succumbing to the disease. Another similarity was that Nora had lost her first spouse. He had died in the line of duty as a firefighter less than a year after his son's death.

Jimmy and Nora had bonded over their mutual losses and eventually became friends. They were friends for three years. In those three years Nora attended any mother events at Tori's school or with her scout troop. Two years ago when Tori went away to camp for the first time. Nora came over and distracted Jimmy through the week. At the end of the week they went on a date. Within a month they were formally dating. They had been going strong ever since. They would be married in the spring.

Having more children was the hardest battle of the upcoming union. Jimmy wanted more but Nora was not sure if she could handle the worry. Her greatest fear was that one or both cancers was genetic and they would endure a second loss. Jimmy could not say that he blamed her but that did not make his wants go away. He guessed that he would just have to wait and see what life brought him.

The wind picked up again, this time bringing cold rain with it. This was the first time it rained on the anniversary, since the first anniversary. He fought back the bad memories of that day, grabbed Tori and ran for the car. By this point the rain was really picking up. The memories were circling around his brain. There was no way he would drive in this weather. Instead he watched the rain pelt the joint tombstones.

Eventually the rain passed and the sun began to peak out from behind the clouds. Jimmy started down the road. The sun returned and brought with it a rainbow. The sun was shining on Tori's long blonde hair and Jimmy could see how much she looked like Breena. For the first time in a decade Jimmy felt a genuine feeling of peace.
