I started writing these stories a month or so after losing my wife, and two years from that date, Nov 17th, I will conclude the story. I may return for a sequel someday, but for now, I will leave the lives of this village open and neverending. My life continues to evolve and I am being shown a bright new horizon the I had never seen before. That is the path I am choosing and Isabella and Corbie have things well in hand. Thank you for listening, and being here with all of us. We will all be here whenever you need us.   Love always, John
