- About the Author
He tells people shes the light of his life, Alex told her with a tender gleam in his eye. He teases her about never going dancing with him, but when we get there youll see how well they manage. Their bedroom is on the first floor and set up with all the conveniences. Dad takes all his meals with Mother, and they sleep in the same bed every night.
Is there someone who comes in to be with her during the day?
Yes, her name is Ida, and shes been coming for years. She cleans and prepares supper every afternoon.
What about mornings?
Well, mother usually sleeps late, and she has Danny.
One of your brothers?
Alex chuckled at the thought. No, Danny is a doga big dog. Youll meet him as soon as we get to the house. Hes huge, but there isnt a vicious bone in his body, so dont let him scare you.
Alex fell silent once again and let Marcail have her thoughts. Alexs parents did indeed sound wonderful. It suddenly became clear why he was a thoughtful, caring personhed learned from godly people. Marcails mind moved to his siblings.
Tell me about the rest of your family.
I think I told you Im the youngest of five. Marcail nodded and Alex went on, the oldest is my sister Dorothy, shes 39 and doesnt live in Fort Bragg. Shes married to a man named Stan Crandall, and they live in Eureka with their four kids.
My brother Skip is 37, and is actually named after my father, Samuel. He has three children, Amber, Jess, and Cole, and his wife is Judith.
Do they live in Fort Bragg?
Yes, he shares the medical practice with my father.
Nodding, Marcail understood for the first time how her sister-in-law, Charlotte Donovan, felt when she was new to the family and trying to place everyone.
Susan is in the middle at 36. Her husband is Jeremy Grey. They have four kids, Price, Nellie, Madeline, and Stuart. Jeremys family owns and operates the bank, so he and Sue live right in town. My folks house, which is also my dads office, is at the edge of town.
Whos next? Marcail asked, hoping she could keep it all straight.
Quinn, who just turned 34. His wife is Hannah, and their kids are Cindy and Derek.
What does Quinn do for a living?
Hes a logger.
You didnt tell me the names of Dorothys children.
No, I didnt. You wont meet them this trip, and I figured youd have enough to keep straight.
Thats true. What do I call your folks?
Well, theyd love to hear Mother and Dad, but something tells me you wouldnt be comfortable with that. Dont hesitate to call them Samuel and Helen; Judith always does.
Is she the one who blushes?
No, thats my sister Sue. Alex chuckled at the thought.
