Diminish the Torment Legacy Challenge- Rules and LP
Inspired by James Turners Every Lot Challenge LP, combined with Rags to Riches and Legacy challenges, short life span and some extra restrictions, this is: Diminish the Torment Legacy Challenge a.k.a...
I've tried to forget about the mistakes I made with Herman. So I work a lot. I'm getting better at cooking and gardening. I like both and the activities sooth my mind. Grant has taken over most of the repairs and upgrading around the house. He also started a part time job as a manual laborer to help out with money. I'm afraid he might get stuck in it for the rest of his life. We can't afford for him to get in the university and he doesn't have the grades for a scholarship. He says he likes the work and he likes to provide for our family. Hope he still thinks like that after he has finished high school.
One evening I was making some garden salad for dinner. It's what I do every day, actually. Grant and Caleb (they seem to be friends now) went out to repair the wind turbines once again. Imagine my shock when I looked out the window and saw Grim in my garden! The last time he was here, he took Gabriel. And now.. who was he after now?
I rushed outside. Everyone had gathered around Grim. Greyson, my poor boy, was crying his eyes out. It was such a relief to see Grant running over from the turbines. One of the stray cats had finished their journey in Newcrest. Grim collected his soul and just stood there. I was hesitant but decided to approach them anyway. I asked about their day. They made a joke about something mundane. I haven't forgiven them for reaping Gabriel's soul, but we made a truce. They showed interest in my growing tummy and seemed to be happy for my growing family. Maybe we could be friends again some day, when losing Gabriel doesn't hurt as much.

Chatting with Grim made me feel better about myself. I woke up the next morning and decided to do something nice for the family. A surprise for Grant. Just to show how much I appreciate him. I had saved up and reached my savings goal only a few days ago. It was time. I bought an oven and had it placed in the kitchen. Just to be on the safe side I also purchased a fire extinguishing system. When Grant got home, he spent some time taking care of trash. The new fire prevention system was right there, on the wall next to the trash can. I was sitting in the kitchen in suspense - will he notice, and if he does, will it destroy the surprise. Lucky me, he was too preoccupied with his chores to notice the addition to the house. Just like I hoped, he didn't see it until I had baked a cake for him. Happy birthday!

My baby Grant is a young adult now! And a bro? I don't remember him being that much in to sports but maybe it's the influence from his friends at the job?
The Haas Family Tree (made in the Plum Tree App). I'll be updating it as the story progresses, so ... possible spoilers for the next chapters ahead!!
