Good Point Written by BarbaraB (2/19/2011 3:03 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Emma's relatives, penned by Nikki N

I have a tendency to sometimes forget that Emma is not the eldest--she always seems to be. I have never thought about what Emma will do if/when her father passes and she is still single. I imagine she will live with her sister and brother and, yes, that will make Isabella first. I wonder if that would be daunting for Emma who is so used to being first. In any case, thanks for the reminder. :)
