Yikes. No Thomas for Nathan hurts. Yes, it's hard to type Nathan when I want to put Nate. So even as a reader, I'm having that problem.
Poor Colleen, right when she's ready to admit maybe she loves Thomas too, he's kept away from them. And it's affecting Edith and James as well.

So sad, it was even more so, to read it now. Knowing that Colleen had passed and Nathan didn't even have his sister. I know that was years down the road but i couldn't help but thimk about it. Good story!

Poor babies! They have had so much to endure … and now another judgmental person separating them from another person they love. Thank God for James and Edith.

Poor Nathan. It is harder on him than anyone. Thomas’s father is being cruel. The Grants and Thomas need each other.

What a sad story. Poor Nathan and at such a young age. you say this is going to be a bad year. It won't be a year for us I hope. I don't think I can handle the sad story for a year. I know Nathan had a sad childhood and his daddy didn't get better until Nathan was a Mountie, so from 10 years old until Nathan is a Mountie is more than a year. I feel sorry for Archie, because he has a sickness, gambling, stealing. There are people who still do those very things and it is just like a sickness. This was good writing, I was just hoping that he would stay straight now. Actually I have a question, why was he allowed to work in the bank with the money. If he was a gambler, wouldn't it seem that if he needed money he would get it one way or another. That is just a though I had. It is a little like letting an Alcoholic work in a licquor store.

Heartbreaking. Lossbetrayal. Consequences that threaten to ruin a family that’s left behind to pick up the pieces. Archie’s arrest is not a surprise but we know there are other lossessuffering to come so we are left to wonder how can Nathan grow to become the kind, wise, respected man he has become?
Still, you have filled in many holeshelped us understand the sorrowssuffering that have made a strong character though with your excellent writing. Thanks for persevering.
Prayers for you.

Sad for Ophelia snd the children, especially Nathan. I love this story, though it again made me cry.

And it starts on his birthday. Will there be hope on his 11th birthday? My girls turn 10 next month. So I can understand this age a bit. But Nate had so much responsibility heaped up on him. So now we have Nathan. The man of the house. Already setting boundaries. I'm thinking of the distant future. Will he ever get to the point in life where he's comfortable being called Nate again? I know there is more loss to come. Eventually, there'll be General's death and Colleen's death. And what happens with Thomas? What happens to him? Why doesn't he marry Colleen? What about Eoan? Is he suffering from Huntington's?
You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Still enjoying the journey, but so concerned over what the family suffered because of Archie's illegal activities and propensity for gambling. Take care of yourself and please keep writing.

Poor, poor Grant family! So sad and chaotic when one family member battles an addiction that makes all the rest of the family and friends suffer!

I am SO glad James rescued Galileo. Thank you for that. Seems like we are reaching the turning point here. I think the prologue should be included in the 100 chapters. It would be great if starting with Part 2, you could put the chapter titles in the chapter field too-that makes it easy for us to go back and look up stuff:)

Such a pivotal moment with the ruby brooch. I am so curious what is going to happen with Thomas. But love that James and Edith managed to lift Nate's spirits with General.

I love that we are already seeing Nate's Mountie instincts, even as a child. Sad times for the Grants.

I love this origin of the charm bracelet and that Colleen's came from Nathan too. That's perfect. And I love how she keeps taunting him about marrying a teacher and he keeps denying it. Their banter is so much fun. I wonder what will cause Ophelia to send Archie away once and for all. And this poor McSweeney family-I hope he goes to the doctor soon.

Good questions about the count! I'd count the prologue as the 100th post!
Yep, Archie is being stupid. How fortunate that James was in the right place at the right time to buy his "sister" the family horse back for her birthday. I definitely see how Nathan's character is being formed. I'm thankful they have James and Edith. I loved the talk Nate had with General! Of course, General can be understood!
A quick correction. I lived in Lacombe for more than 6 years. I currently have family living there. I have plans to visit in August. Lacombe seems to be missing an e in this chapter.
