Nikki’s youngest son, Dorian, is now a teen. He has joined a band and started dating Nikole Ivanov. Time is certainly moving right along. Kayla decides to take a break from writing and goes to visit her sister’s household, but only Nikki is home.

Nikki seems rather focused in discussing art and painting, turning the conversation back around to it time and time again. Kayla wonders what brought on this sudden intensity and takes a short walk while she ponders what this might mean.

Within minutes of arriving home, Kayla gets a phone call from Raheem letting her know that Nikki has passed on. Kayla almost drops the phone as tears fill her eyes and blurs her vision. She thanks Raheem for letting her know and ends the call.

Kayla goes and stares at the painting her sister had done as a child. Nikki drew a nice red and white lighthouse overlooking the ocean. Maybe she could give it as a gift to Bobby, now that he is about to become a father, and share some of the stories that Nikki and she created together. Kayla begins to smile as her heart and mind recall all the good times they shared…

Goodbye, Nikki SP-Blackwell. You will be missed.
