Ok, Now this is where the story ties into My previous story
…”Grandpa was a Hero” this connects the two stories…
PT.13
Mother’s Love
15 years later…
A lot had changed in Dodge , and for all the folks in Dodge…
especially Matt ,Kitty and their friends…
A few years Back,… Matt
found out how his past could come back to haunt him… even if you didn’t
remember what it was or who it was … but
now to his surprise ,. Came in the form of a Child!, a daughter Elizabeth
(Beth) .. a child born of his 6 week ,…
run with amnesia…. Mike Yardner’s health
was in question ,.. so she felt she needed Matt to know about their daughter…Now 17 yrs. old.
This took it’s toll…. But in time , he and Kitty came out
stronger for it,.. for Beth!... Matt sure never wanted to dig up that topic
again but ,now there was a young girl
involved… His Girl.. and she needed her Father,.. especially now that she was
about to lose her Mother…
Several other events , entered into their lives and into the
lives of their loved ones…
Over the years, they had seen Mary grow into a Beautiful
Young lady,... she is 15 now ..almost 16…
after watching her first steps , first day of school, first dance…which
Mayee Bains always made a special effort
to Keep in touch with Kitty and Matt and keep them a big part of Mary’s life…
even to the point, as she was getting older and health was no what it use to
be…Maylee made a visit to Breckinridge the young lawyer who settled in Dodge
many years before… asking him to draw up Paper’s in the event of her demise ..
Kitty would be Mary’s legal Gaurdian…
Mary who now referred to kitty and matt as Aunt Kitty and Uncle
Matt… all the was left to do is have Matt and Kitty
agree… But this really wouldn’t be an
Issue…
Matt was slowing down with his duties… letting Frank Reardon
Jr. the son of his best friend son… Newly was now taking on more of the
Doctoring duties, since Doc, was now getting ready to retire.. Newly now with a
new bride who help him a great deal with
the patients.
Beth had gone East ..to school, at Kitty suggestion, after
reading Mike’s letter to them about making sure she saw something other then
ranch life before making a decision … to carry on in her mother’s
footsteps. And she did and enjoyed the
experience,.. later meeting and marrying
a young rancher Jesse Clayton.. and Making Matt and Kitty
grandparents…but This meant her moving away to Springfield Colorado. But they made several trips to visit ,..
especially for the birth of the twin boys and then their Daughter …
As time went on Matt still had dealing with many outlaws
that he had sent to prison ,.. still coming back looking for revenge…even the
few of the Dog Soldiers that escaped ... a nightmare relived !,they ripped
through Dodge ,.. setting fire to everything in site… But , in a face to face
confrontation with Matt … met their demise… in the middle of the smoldering
streets of Dodge. After also terrorizing
farmer’s along the way… Newly’s wife being one of them. And Maylee and Mary Bains…
slowed only by the twister that swarmed across Kansas… This horrific
event… brought Pain and heartache to many ,…. One being
Mary Bains….
