41. The First Goodbye

The Snow kept up for days after Elsa's birth ,
 leaving a nice layer all over the yard.

"Are you warm enough Kaylee" Laila asked concerned for
 her great-grandmother in law

"Laila i have told your time and time again, i am perfectly
 fine" Kaylee said, she loved that Laila cared but over time everyone's
 constant doting over her started to get annoying.

Because of the snow i sent Carl and Sean out to build a snowman
 (no frozen joke intended) when the camera suddenly flew to Sean.

Laila heard the commotion and rushed outside as Sean
 became surrounded by a bright glow.

It wasn't long before Sean as we knew it was gone,
only a shadow of the man that once was.

Issy quickly joined everyone outside, followed closely by Kaylee

"No..." Kaylee cried  as she watch the love
 of her life pass before her eyes

Sean knew his time has come and greeted the reaper as equals.
"Goodbye my love" he said to Kaylee as he left this world forever.

Everyone watched in horror and sadness as
 Sean Radford was no more.

Poor Kaylee could barely stand, she was grief stricken 

Because the Grim Reaper is weird and insensitive he went and
asked Kaylee for an autograph before departing

I built a small graveyard for Sean next to the stables

Poor Kaylee was beside herself, despite the freezing cold she
 couldn't bring herself to leave

After a while Isabella came to see her mother

Without a word Kaylee embraced her daughter and sobbed
"Mum i....." issy didn't know how to finish her sentence

After what seemed like forever they parted.

"Mum, your not doing anything for dad standing here freezing,
lets get inside ok" Isabella said trying to be strong for her mother

"Ok.... lets go in" Kaylee said quietly

As they came inside Laila came downstairs with Elsa

Poor Carl wasn't coping very well

"Hey Kaylee, would you mind keeping an eye on Elsa for a little while,
 I have a man upstairs who could use a talking to" Laila said,
she hoped having Kaylee take care of Elsa would make
 her feel a bit better.

"I.. I don't know Laila" Kaylee said unsure

Kaylee could only so no for so long and it wasn't long
 before she was smiling again with little Elsa in her arms

Everyone was struggling, Nigel built a snowman...
not really sure how that will help but if it works it works.

By the time Laila came upstairs Carl was in with Hamish,
 he put him down quietly, it was obvious he had been crying 

"WHY, WHY WHAT DID I DO LAILA, WE WERE
JUST OUTSIDE NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY
AND HE JUST......" Carl yelled as he started getting angry
raising his fist and kicking some of Hamish's toys out of anger.

"Carl!" Laila said as she backed away

"Oh My.... i... i am so sorry Laila...
.. i just..." Carl broke down in a fit of sobs in his wife's arms

"It's ok, i know what this feels like. trust me." Laila said comfortingly

"You ok now?" she asked
"Yeah... i guess" Carl replied

With that Hamish toddled over
"Daddy... what's wrong daddy" he mumbled

"Nothing my boy, everything is gonna be ok now" Carl said

With that Carl put Hamish to bed

No-one felt like talking over dinner, it was a very quite evening

Poor Kaylee tossed and turned all night, having to sleep,
 for the first time in years, alone

Time passed slowly at the Radford house but it wasn't
to long before it was Carl and Elsa's Birthdays

Laila took Elsa to the cake

*** SPARKLES***

Elsa grew to be a beautiful young lady who
 could pass as a twin for her older brother. She has Jet black
 hair like her father and grandfather as well as his green eyes.

Ever since Nigel turned up all the kids look like him.
 anyone else have this???

Next up Carl's turn

Hamish grew into a strapping young boy, he love
\s to play pranks and cause mischief, he is a softy at heart
though always caring for his sister.

Looking Good Hamish.

This post is dedicated to Sean Radford,
the founding father of this Legacy. He will be missed.

Message from Me

Hey everyone, sorry about all the feels. Sadly Sean left us this post and i worry about poor Kaylee. However we should look forward to the next generation of this Challenge so i will probably put the poll up for heir soon, i may however get Laila and Carl to have another kid now that there is a spot in the family but time will tell. As always love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
