Important Announcement Concerning "The Breakers" Please Read!
Thursday, February 16, 2012
Hi beautiful friends …
Please take a moment and read this!
I have some very important information to share with you all about the the final chapter, The Epilogue of The Breakers. I'm very, VERY sorry to tell you that it will NOT be posted this weekend as planned. It's not because it's not done, or that I'm dragging my feet, or that I'm sad to say goodbye to our family in Corea … but because my other half, my better half, my beta, Laurel, will not be able to be here with me when I hit the complete button.
She's had a death in the family and first thing in the morning she will be traveling halfway across the country to be with her loved ones. Some of you might wonder why this would cause me to wait another week to post my chapter … if you are, let me explain.
We started this journey side by side 8 months ago (though we've picked up some others along the way) - longer if you count all the prep work that we did. I might write the words, but The Breakers is every bit as much Laurel's story as it is mine. She's researched, she's found pictures, she put together the blog, she posts the Wordle, she set up the Facebook page … she does it all. She pushes and prods, she encourages and supports and loves.
She's my mom, my sister, my best friend, and she's the other half of my brain. Finishing a story is something I'm proud of. This story is something I'm very proud of, but there is no way I could or can say goodbye to Edward, Bella, and Peyton without Laurel being able to share in the satisfaction of a job well done.
I hope you understand my actions.
I know you share in my sympathy for Laurel and her family.
I hope you'll come back in a little over a week and wish our Breaker family goodbye.
Thank you so much for your understanding, support and most of all your love for not only me but for Laurel as well.
See you next Sunday!
Lots of love,
Erin~

The Breakers - Epilogue Teaser and Pic Tease
Monday, February 13, 2012
"Dad!"
"Your sister sounds rather upset. What do you say we go see what all the fuss is about?" I ask and grin when my son gives me a toothy, gurgling smile.
At just shy of a year old, there is no doubt that he's the most incredible thing to ever happen to me … outside of his mother and sister of course.
I stand up from the couch where we've just had a nap and hold him with his back against my chest. His little legs kick as we walk, most likely because he thinks he's getting food but it's just as possible that he hears Peyton muttering to herself in the kitchen.
She's not quiet, never has been.
A slam of the refrigerator door makes Sam jump in my arms though like most things, he laughs at Peyton instead of being startled by the noise. A happier baby I'm not sure there has ever been in the history of … well, ever. Seriously, if my boy isn't smiling, I worry. From the moment he made his entrance into the world, eight days early and in the middle of the night, he's always had a smile on his face. Sometimes I wonder what in the world he sees or thinks about … then I wonder if it's just that he knows he's been loved and cherished from the time he was no bigger than a lima bean.
Peyton slams a glass down on the counter with a huff before she pours some apple juice, mumbling the whole time. I can't help but chuckle when some of it sloshes over the side and splashes on the counter.
She scowls, looking from the spilled liquid to the glass like it's the glass's fault it can't keep all the juice inside.
"Better stop that. Your face might stay that way … then what will Brody think?" I sing song his name, though I'm pretty sure there's a scowl on my face, too.
Damn kid, he's like a bad weed, always popping up even when I think we've gotten rid of him.
"Dad." She huffs, rolling her eyes when she turns around.
I will never, ever, as long as I live ever, tire of the way it sounds when she calls me Dad, even if like now, she's trying to be annoyed with me. She looks so much like Bella at times it's down right scary, especially when she does that little eyebrow quirk where the middle lifts into a perfect peak. Kind of like she's doing now.
