[Discuss something you haven't done and explain what's holding you back.]

I don't think any of us will ever get past Keith's death. I don't care how close I wasn't to the guy, he was still my uncle. He gave me a job when I really needed one. He was who I thought had saved Rachel, Cooper and me that day.

There are a lot of days I'll never forget for good and bad reasons. The good would be my wedding (well, both of them), the birth of my son, and the day I started to really walk again. The bad includes the school shooting as one of them and the day Dan got paroled is another. For half a year Dan let us think Jimmy had killed my uncle Keith. And finally, finally when it all came out he turned himself in.

I guess it was from the guilt but I don't care. He had killed his brother in cold blood. He drove my mom crazy for most of their marriage and threatened her for the rest.

I'm not sorry for kicking Dan's ass with Lucas last year. We were justified. Jamie was missing and in walks Dan right after him, it was our first instinct.

But, I still haven't thanked him for saving Jamie. Or saving Haley for that matter. I haven't told him how much it must have sucked to be held captive by Carrie. Because, a part of me thinks he really deserves it. I don't know how any of us will ever get past what Dan did.

We're letting Jamie around Dan. He's Jamie's grandfather and yeah, he saved my kid. But he killed my uncle, so don't expect a miracle.

I don't think I'll ever apologize for what I did.

I could always thank the guy for what he's done. It's just so hard to look Dan in the eye and not see everything terrible he's ever done.
