I have never been happier to meet a long lost relative.
And you've got to understand, this happens a lot in Oakdale. There was Aunt Rose, the identical twin Mom never knew she had until they were adults. There's my biological dad, Damian, who likes to pop up when you least expect it. There's my other dad, Holden's, daughter, Abigail, who he only met when she was a teen, and his son, Aaron, who he knew about, but figured was living all out of sight and out of mind with his mom and my Uncle Caleb in Seattle.
So we're used to this surprise family reunion, and I've kind of learned to go with the flow and not question it too much. But this is the first time I've ever been really happy about it.
Turns out the girl I accidentaly hit with my car, not only is she going to be okay, but she also says she's Aunt Rose's daughter, given up for adoption when she was a baby! None of us had any idea Rose had a daughter.
I can see that Mom and Dad aren't 100 percent buying it yet. But you know what, Jade showing up has really taken the heat off me and the chorus of "What's really going on, Luke?" that's like, my parents new favorite mantra.
They've finally got another kid and her secrets to focus on. I hope Cousin Jade sticks around Oakdale for a nice, long time.

WOW!!! I never would have imagined that Rose had a daughter! I hope your cousin, Jade, is ok and that everyone finds the answers they are looking for.
Love,
Lucy
What a crock!!! Now Rose magically has a daughter?? And they pulled two babies out of me when I was 13, yet I had no idea. OK, whatev.
What a crock!!! Now Rose has a daughter that no one knew about? Yeah, and they pulled two babies out of me when I was 13, yet I had no idea. Whatev!!!
What next? Did Rose maybe have another daughter besides just Jade? Maybe she is named Topaz or Ruby. And when my third grown daughter shows up, her name will be Violet, Daisy or some such nonsense. But I'm not bitter.
Come to Mrs. Robinson, Buddyboy!!!
There are alot of adoptions that go on in you family, I'm just sayin'.
And I wish you would tell SOMEONE what's wrong, it's nice to hear from the horses mouth rather than assume (from spoilers). ^_^
Luke, I thought there were some strange things going on in my family, but hearing about yours, whoa.
Everyone is related, but not really. I can't wait to meet Jade. She sounds like a cool girl. How old is she? Does she like to have fun?
Maybe with Jade in town, you'll be able to sneak out and meet up with me. :)
Lucy,
Wow, that photo takes me back. You are so beautiful Luce. Come back to Oakdale; I miss you sweetie.
Love always,
Dusty
Dusty! It's good to "see" you. You look great in your picture. I miss you too and one day I know we'll be together again.
Forever yours,
Lucy
Man, i can't believe that Aaron has a cousin he didn't even know about. I can't wait to tell him. Dusty, I thought you had a new family to worry about right now. Why are you constantly leading my friend Lucy on? Give it up man.
It's good to see you too princess. Forever with you, now that sounds like a dream come true. Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Dusty
Hey Alison
You always did stick your little nose everywhere, see that hasn't changed. Say hey to Aaron for me.
Dusty

Well, like I was trying to say, Joe, you've got to watch out for long lost relatives. I mean, I told you what happened with B.Ho.
Then, my friend Nicole found and she was adopted and before you know it, her birth mother, Shaggy Louise Grout showed to act all motherly. She was also the lunch lady. Ha! Take that Nicole!
As it turns out, though, Shaggy Louise Grout wasn't her mother at all. She was a scam artist looking to score some easy cash by preying on Nicole's emotions.
So, hon, you keep those deep, soulful eyes of yours on your new cousin.
I'll talk to you later. I've got to club me some baby seals because I need a new pair of pants.
Dusty,
I only stick my nose in important places. I just don't want to see Lucy get hurt, and I don't think Jennifer would approve.
Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?
That's pretty cool of you to do this for me, considering I accidentally killed your daughter by poisoning her for 2 straight weeks.
Oh right, you did kill Rose didn't you?? No worries, Rose being my daughter was contrived anyway. Dump that boygirl now, and come to mama.
Hey buddyboy, why would you be interested in sleeping with that old woman iva. I saw the movie rumor has it, old wrinkly women aren't that pretty.
But I would agree dump the boygirl. She tried to kill your mother.
Well, Ali, you said you didn't want me, the boygirl just isn't doing it for me. Maybe I need a real woman like Mrs. Robinson to make a man out of me.
Whaddya say, Iva? Just don't say 'momma' again. Okay?
Buddyboy,
I didn't want you because you have so many issues. Just last week you wanted to hook up with Luke, give the kid a break. He isn't ever out yet really. Now you want to hook up with some version of his grandma? I think you should visit that ward again.
Yeah, let's go, Buddyboy. As they say, I'll rock your world. And as for you, you little twit Alison, how dare you say what you said about me. Once you grow up, you'll realize I am far from an old woman. BTW, how's that diet going? And at least my mother isn't a slut. The apple does not fall from the tree, huh?
Hey Luke, keep your eyes open. Be really sure this Jade isn't scamming your family. Who knows? Mitzi may be behind her arriving in Oakdale. Mitzi was always looking for a fast buck.
Luke,
I still want to hook up with you, too. Let's talk, okay?
Luke you seem to be very desirable...O.o Are you just as amused/weirded out by the responses to your blog as I am?
Iva...wow, are you sure you're not related to me, you remind me of a mix between my grandmas and mother...hm.
Buddyboy...interesting lad.
Hey there Luke I thought you lived in Oakdale not Oakdlae??? Even though I'm from Pine Valley PA I still read up on these things..
Who are you calling a twit you old hag. At least I have a hot man to keep me interested, I don't have to hit on emotionally unstable teenagers. It sounds like the only slut here is you.
Mom, what are you doing over here?
Wow, it's been a long time since I've been in Oakdale. I left to take care of Charles, but he went toe up a long time ago.
I hope things have changed around there. Back in the day, I couldn't even wear a tanktop!
Lots of luck.
Iva, I don't get all the fuss over buddyboy. If you are lusting after anyone around here, it should be me. I have a killer smile, if I do say so myself. Although being the objective of my best friend's grandmother's affections might be a little strange.
Kevin! Ew. That would be...strange >.> very.
Besides--ok I'm not saying it but someone should... -_-

Kevin, I agree. I just love you smile. And not just that iva is Luke's grandma, but she is old and wrinkly. Surely your not into that.
Hey Binks!! Just thought someone should let Luke know how to spell Oakdale!!
If you are going to hit on an older woman in Oakdale it should Barbar even though Will shouldn't hit that. Lucinda isn't bad either.Goodness knows she hasn't had any loving in a looooong time. The hottest women in Oakdale are Meg, Lily Barbar Carly (when she gains a little weight) Jennifer and Meg : )
I agree Meg is hot, if i wasn't with Aaron who knows....
Oh yeah a 3some with you me & Meg would be very nice, even though I am not really into blondes. You are hot though.....
marco,
I don't know if I should be flattered or grossed out? Thanks for the complement i think.
Trust me, its a compliment.
Lullaby!! Lucy, princess, why don't you ever come visit your dear old pop in the big house?? At least write, or call, or something? I haven't heard from anyone for months. How is school? I thought you told me that you were through wasting time thinking about Donovan. FYI, Jade would be YOUR cousin, too.
Oh, yeah -- Luke, nice blog. Your Uncle Craig says "hi". Give my love to your mother.
Craig, come back!! Oakdale is so boring without you!
Craig no one likes you, not even lucy, so why are you wasting our time. Besides I don't know how you have time to write, I mean you are so busy these days...
