[perenelle q. harlowe-labeau]

❝ perenelle q. harlowe-labeau come stop your crying it'll be all right JUNE 2043 A day with her grandchildren was always a perfect one in Nelle's mind. Mina had two of her own, a boy and a girl, and Scout had just had her daughter. Nelle had been more than content being a mother - it was one of the greatest joys in her life, something that she hadn't thought would have ever been beat. Then Mina had delivered her first child, and Nelle had discovered a new type of love. She doted on her grandbabies as best as she could, though years of working hunched over with her grooming business had left her with a bad back and two knee replacements. She couldn't get down and play with them as much as she wanted to, but they didn't seem to mind. She had all three of her grandchildren with her that day - Peter was 8, running around and tormenting his little sister, Naomi. She was bouncing Scout's newborn, Raven, against her chest as she sat on her porch, watching her other two grandchildren play.  "Did you find it?" Nelle called into the house where Medea was hunting for the baby bottle. She was like a second, surrogate grandmother to the trio Nelle was watching carefully, and she'd offered to come over and help her friend babysit.
