They have been with Tommy Vega since Tim Rosewater died in a lava accident, while their brother Owen fought a forest fire. As a result, they stayed behind to attend Tim Rosewater's funeral. They are being cared for by Tommy Vega and are coping with the loss of a dear friend. They find solace in the fact that Tim died doing what he loved, exploring lava flows. They remain hopeful Owen will return home safely. Tommy Vega is doing his best to comfort them and provide them with the support they need during this difficult time. They have been attending counseling sessions to help them process their emotions. They are determined to stay strong and be there for each other until Owen comes home. The family continues to pray for Owen's safe return and to honor Tim's memory. They are grateful to have people like Tommy in their lives who understand their pain and provide comfort. They cling to the hope that Owen and their nephew Tk will be back soon. The family is aware that it is not easy to move on from such a traumatic event. They have found comfort and support in counseling, in the support of their friends and family, and in the power of prayer. They focus on staying strong together and remain hopeful for the safe return of their loved ones. The couple has been doing their best to stay positive and keep their faith alive. They know that no matter what happens, they will always have each other. They will never give up hope. They know that Owen and Tk are strong and brave and that they will come home soon. Together, they will face anything that comes their way. No matter the outcome, they will be united in love. They are aware that the situation is out of their control, but by keeping their faith and staying strong together, they are providing each other with the strength and courage they need to get through this difficult time. No matter what happens, their bond of love will carry them through. They understand that love is the ultimate force that binds them together, even in the most trying of times. It allows them to trust each other as they face the unknown and gives them the strength to keep going when times are tough. Love gives them the courage to withstand whatever may come, and the assurance that, no matter what happens, they will remain together. Their bond allows them to be vulnerable with each other, to be open, honest, and accepting of each other's faults and failings. It gives them the security to be able to put their trust in each other and to know that they will always have each other's support, no matter what. It is a bond that is built on respect, understanding, and unconditional love, and it is this bond that will see them through anything. They have a connection that is unbreakable, and they know that it will last forever. No matter what life throws at them, they will always be there for each other.
