Chapter 25
The years continued to flow gently,
bringing more blessings to Vance family,
their lives a beautiful endless masterpiece.
Violet and Tommy graduated with honors,
returning to the coast to live,
marrying in a beautiful backyard ceremony.
The entire town attended the wedding,
celebrating the love of two friends,
who grew up together on shore.
Quincy was the proud best man,
giving a speech that made everyone,
laugh and cry with deep emotion.
He remained the anchor of family,
a famous artist who chose home,
living in his beautiful seaside studio.
His paintings were world renowned now,
yet his favorite subjects remained same,
his sister and the beautiful ocean.
Eleanor retired from the beach café,
handing the business to a friend,
spending her days in her garden.
She was a grandmother now today,
as Violet gave birth to baby,
a beautiful little girl with curls.
They named her Clara Martha Vance,
honoring the past and the love,
that had saved their family before.
The baby was perfectly healthy sweet,
her tiny hands reaching for light,
welcoming the world with pure joy.
Eleanor held her granddaughter close tight,
sitting in the old porch rocker,
singing a soft gentle sweet lullaby.
She looked out at the ocean,
the waves rolling in with peace,
the sun setting in grand glory.
The journey was fully complete now,
the legacy of love completely secure,
passed down to a new generation.
The monsters were gone for good,
their shadows erased by the light,
that shone brightly from this house.
Quincy stood by the porch rail,
holding his sketchbook with a smile,
capturing the beautiful domestic scene there.
Violet sat next to her husband,
her violin resting on her lap,
her face radiant with total happiness.
They were a family of victors,
who turned darkness into bright art,
and sorrow into beautiful triumphant music.
The house was filled with warmth,
the light eternal and completely safe,
protecting them forever and evermore inside.
The page was clean and beautiful,
May you like
the story finished in total light,
and they were finally home forever.
