19. A friend/family member of yours is in the hospital! Are they okay? What happened?
20. You reconnect with someone. Who are they? What happened? What do you do?Notice how in the beginning, it's usually tragedy after tragedy after tragedy, with a few good events to fill up the gaps. In the next 4 years, it's the same way, but the tragedies stop at the end. Plus, the last 4 years is focused more on friends and family then you, but it has something to do with you. I should do this more often!“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.” - Andre Gide

Year Thirty-One
While working at home, I order some food for delivery. When I hear a ring at the door, I assume it's them, only to find a baby boy abandoned at my doorstep. I immediately call Thaïs, and we decide to keep the baby. We name him Robin Lysander and decide to use my last name, Fairchild, so it matches Rodica's. Robin has straight brown hair and green eyes, not unlike Thaïs. Rodica's a little confused, but very excited to have a baby brother around.St John [62] and Kiarra [61] with Frank [dec.], Kayleigh [dec.], Rosalind [31], and Phoebe [29]
Rosalind [31] and Thaïs [33] with Rodica [8] and Robin [nb], and their pitty Zeus [12]
Year Thirty-Two
Robin has brought so much joy to our family that Thaïs and I have decided to adopt another baby. Unfortunately, our adoption falls through. My beloved pitbull, Zeus, passes away at the ripe old age of 13.St John [63] and Kiarra [62] with Frank [dec.], Kayleigh [dec.], Rosalind [32], and Phoebe [30]

Year Thirty-Four
I begin experiencing horrid, chronic joint pain, and at only 34, I'm diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. This is a devastating blow, as it's incurable, and I know I won't be able to continue drawing comics. I keep going as long as I can, but am eventually forced to confine myself to writing the stories as someone else draws for me.St John [65] and Kiarra [64] with Frank [dec.], Kayleigh [dec.], Rosalind [34], and Phoebe [32]

This year, I fall ill with mycoplasma. I recover fairly quickly, but I don't enjoy it at all. Luckily, I don't spread it to anyone else in the house.

When everyone sees the baby, there are shocked! Lavender decides to keep her. She names her Sky Tracy Brown. She has wavy blonde hair and brown eyes.
