Re: Making a Family - Step 6
in reply to a message by Casey
Dear Friends I am deeply touched by the flowers you all have sent since the funeral for Martha and Byron. It was tragic how they left this world. They were comming home on the AA flight 232 from Boston. The plane had some kind of malfunction in the instruments and the pilot was trying to up right and already up right plane and in the process he was trying to make a 747 flip in mid air. Since this is not doable the plane nose dived and they lost air pressure and the cabin could not sustain the pressure and the windows burst and with the mix of Oxygen and the air outside the plane exploded and crashed to the ground with no surviors.
Their lawyer called us 3 days later saying he wanted to meet with us.
He then began to tell us that Byron had left strict instructions for us the Arthurs to take his children in and raise them. With a look of surprise on our faces I am sure the lawyer thought us mad... we smiled and said with gladness that yes we would take in the Thurstin children to raise. So then we left with our best friends 3 children to go home and start to heal.
I felt like a huge honor was bestowed on me to raise Amelia June Thurstin age 12(same age as Hermione now) so they can share a room .. they are best of friends to begin with and Benjamin and Johnathan Logan are 15 together they can bunk in together and then Elizabeth Pearl is just 6yrs old but her and Gwendolyn can share even if Gwen is older by a year and 2months as Gwen always tells me.
The house will always be full but at least I can pass on my love to my best friends kids and teach them what their parents wanted them to know.
