~ a couple of deer. So we're having venison for dinner. *She wiped the hair out of her face.* We'll get you a hot shower and some new clothes. We can talk later.

~ again, but she'd be safe.* Hey, you have Grandpa's shotgun and other gun. *She motioned her hip.* This was the one he gave me when we left. *She smiled. Pulling her by her shoulders Andrea led her newly found daughter to her house. Let's get some food into you. We have meat today. Daryl found ~

~ Jars and jars of it. I mean it's not meat, but you could have lived on that for a long time. Seeds to plant and grow if you ever found a good place to stay. *She cupped her face.* Why did you keep looking? *So many communities out there that were good. They may not have ever seen one another ~

~ woman she needed to be.* I'm glad we didn't take you with us. It seemed like Grandpa taught you everything you needed to survive. Just like he did us. Were they O.k? I mean did Grandma teach you how to garden as well? I know she canned a lot of food. You should have a lot of food to take with you~

*Her parents were gone. Just like she and Amy had suspected. Tears welled up just as her daughter's.* Oh, baby. *She wiped the girl's tears. And yes, to Andrea she was still that little girl she had left behind 14 years ago. Her parents had given her the chance to grow up and become the responsible~

~ Grandma and Grandpa?

~ "Andrea, we can't. You know that." She screamed!* That's my daughter open the fucking gate NOW! *They began opening the gate a walker came up and Andrea stabbed it in the head.* Come on sweetie, go go go. *The gate closed, she wrapped her in a hug.* My God I thought you were dead, Baby. Where are~

~ for the lost ones. Now the woman who had killed the walker had blonde hair, similar facial features to her father just like Amy. Her head shook back and forth when she heard the word "Mom." Looking down, she called out the person at the gate.* Open the gate! Let her in! *She slid down the ladder.~

~ Because she knew what day it was when Amy was put down, she made her own calenders. Thanka to Dale they had one the year it went to shit. Perhaps it was obsessive. It helped everyone when it came to birthdays. When they got to Alexandria they were able to celebrate birthdays once more. A memorial~

~ giving birth to Judith. It had been up to all of them to raise her. It made her think of Cassidy each and everyday. How she'd rock her in her in her arms. How she'd fed her at her own breast. It caused her to ache for her daughter. Each time they made a run and found things for Judith, she cried.~

*Andrea had that sniper rifle up and ready to shoot the walker when she saw the woman. Rick and Michone didn't want to let strangers in anymore. They had had difficulties with The Saviors, Negan, and many other horrid people along the way. The Governor had run them out of the prison. Lori was dead~

~ Andrea only had pictures of her parents and Cassidy. They had spoken on the phone before she was going to leave. Standing on the top of tower, the blonde was watching for Walkers and the people coming back from supply running.*

~ young when she'd had her. But her parents supported her and ensured she got a good education, lived at home. When she had finally gotten up on her own feet and was about to send for her. Talking to Amy, she had agreed. She'd called her parents to let them know. So possibly Cassidy was on her way.~

~ up as to whether or not @lilharrison.bsky.social and her parents were alive. She could hope they were. Perhaps Cassidy would find her. They all knew she worked in Georgia. But her parents didn't want Cassidy to go with her and Amy right away until she was able to provide a stable home. Andrea was~

~ for them. It was just traveling alone would be so treacherous for 2 people. Yet they were in Atlanta originally they could have asked the group to go down. Being a lawyer she could have pled a great case. Then she had to put her sister down like an animal down on her birthday. Andrea had given ~
