Valley Ventures:  Generation 2 families

Descendant Name Children

Anika Tedford Terence

Anika had a rough childhood as she grew up with an evil streak enjoying the misery of others.  She decided to combat her 'evil' side with the happiness reward of 'extremely friendly'.  Anika completed her 'Fabulously Wealthy' aspiration while living at home with the income her parents, Grant & Jan brought home as well as from the careers of herself and siblings while still living at home and increasing the value of their home with several renovations.  After reaching the top of her political career and shortly before reaching her senior years, Anika adopted a young boy by the name of Terence who lost his family and home in a major hurricane that swept through Sunlit Tides after seeing the desperate plight of orphaned children during one of her political visits.   Although she never married, Anika did develop a romantic interest relationship with the local romance festival love guru (forget his name now).  When Anika passed away while Terence was still a toddler, her brother Jonathan moved in to become his caregiver during which time his nephew would become like the son Jonathan never had.  More about that in Jonathan's summary.

Terence is now enjoying retirement after reaching the top of his social media career.
