Yeah, they're probably all too good to be true...but, hey, it's my story and it's fiction...so what the hey?

Seriously, both Cade and Josh knew her "before" -- they know that underneath all of the trauma was/is a very strong woman -- but they also know what a fine line it is between being okay and near insanity -- and they probably would err on the side of her sanity, if push came to shove.

J.R. didn't know her before -- but he's heard a lot about her -- it's a testament to his family -- and to Cade -- how he reacts to her. He's been told that she had no idea of his existence -- it would be hard to fault someone for honestly not knowing.  J.R. not only does he look like Brad but he has a lot of his easy-going personality, too -- and he was reared in the same way Brad had been, too.
