TW/CW: Death, Child Death

The year started out with Margaret's twins turning thrity-five.

Terric and Deborah welcomed twins, Kiyo and Kasemoto, in January.

In March, tragedy struck and Larissa's granddaughter, Lettice, died from an infected animal bite.

Adrian's great-grandson from his granddaughter Parnell, Daichi, turned six.

The Markovic family celebrated their heir Lawrence becoming an adult and Florence Westbrook turned thirty-five as well.

William Jaleel turned thirteen and old enough to be fully emersed in the family business.

Despite having grown up mostly neglected, Sybil's daughter, Constance turned thirteen.

Unfortunately, Larissa's household was struck with tragedy as illness arrived in the home starting with a gentle cough that grew, infecting the Pancakes side of the family and Anias. Sadly in early July, both of the young sons of the home, Ralph and Anias passed away while Cristina was expecting.

What made things worse is that shortly after laying the boys to rest the expectant Cristina started to cough.

Trying to look on the brightside the family was comforted by the birth of Barnaby and Brooklyn's daughter Bianca in late July. Surprising everyone, Frideswide announced her marriage to Watson Carlisle from Henford, in August though they had apparently actually married in July.

Perhaps it was due to age but the illness wasn't quite as aggressive with Cristina and she welcomed a newborn son, Albert, in September.

Though not even two full months had passed when Cristina succumbed to disease the night of November 7th and Philip followed the next morning.

While life in Willow Creek was not treating the family kindly, in Tartosa, Grace celebrated her birthday into a young woman at home with her family.

Of course her birthday meant it was time to travel to actually prepare to marry her new husband. Vincente asked her if she was certain about it and she did have her doubts about leaving and marrying some stranger she only met once but the family seemed nice when she met them and she'd be able to see her other brothers frequently so that was a plus... she didn't want to acknowledge the fact that that perk would only be there so long as the boys were in school. But the marriage was already agreed upon so there was no use trying to argue it now she decided. Since they couldn't just abandon the home for the wedding, Agustin and Vincente were to stay behind while Adrian took Grace to her new home with all their stuff. So as December rolled by and Grace's things were packed up, the two siblings embraced knowing it may be a while until they'd see each other again.

Surviving Family:

Talia’s eldest child, Thomas Carlisle married Isabel Goth and the couple had six children before Isabel’s death. Anthony, Andrew, Agnes, Adam, Allen, and Arthur. Unfortunately both Adam and Allen passed away as children. After Isabel’s death, Thomas remarried Margery Thorne and the couple had two sons, Adrian and Ambrose. Adrian had six children together with Samara Ernest; Margaret, Roger, Thomasin, Parnell, Philippa, and Catherine. Unfortunately both Roger and Catherine did not survive to adulthood. 

Margaret (pictured first) married her first husband William Shanks and had three children with him. Their first born, John, did not survive toddlerhood buth their twins, Samuel and Sybil lived. When Margaret was widowed she married her late husband’s brother and they had a daughter, Samara, who didn’t live before being widowed again. Margaret then married a third time to Mikel and they divorced so he could marry Sybil. 

Samuel (pictured below Margaret with his wife) married Aniyah Upton (James and Jenifer Upton’s youngest daughter) and they had a daughter, Martha, who didn’t live.
