It's mostly a story of love lost and found and hope coming out of desolation. And there's humor involved as well because of this precocious 7-year old who enters their lives and helps them see that all is not lost when God gets figured into the equation. Give it a try. I dare ya!<BR/><BR/>Love you all!<BR/><BR/>SharSHARLENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457286835246419013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-49322189179754799612007-02-28T23:15:00.000-08:002007-02-28T23:15:00.000-08:00Wow!! Just reading the premise of the book had me ...Wow!! Just reading the premise of the book had me nearly weeping at my computer! This subject has been a tough one for me to contemplate. I'm the mother of three beautiful, little boys and I continually ask myself, how would I handle the loss of my child? I know that children are a gift from God and ultimately belong to Him, but I can't quite grasp how one holds them with open hands.<BR/><BR/>My Aunt and Uncle experienced this loss some years ago and I cannot understand how they have managed to move on. They don't have faith in a loving God to cling to and I can't imagine how one could possibly continue without that hope.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, this book sounds wonderful, but I'm not sure I'd be able to make it through to the end. I'm in need of kleenex just sitting here thinking about it! :-) But I'm sure that this book will be a blessing to many people!<BR/><BR/>God bless you, Sharlene!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168454800095568360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-26520776807166997572007-02-25T17:20:00.000-08:002007-02-25T17:20:00.000-08:00Thanks, everyone, for your kind remarks. Oh, Sher...Thanks, everyone, for your kind remarks. Oh, Sheryl, I'd love to know what "similar" story you have to my Wheaties one. I tell you, ladies, I have done so many silly, zany, downright absent-minded things in my life, I could fill a book with them. Hubby shakes his head at me and sometimes even quivers when he thinks what might happen next. I'm not kidding.(Mostly he just laughs hysterically.) All I can say is I must be a trip to live with.<BR/><BR/>Kristy, you've given me a great idea about using this little story in one of my future novels. Sometimes things just happen to me. They are funny to other people, but I don't see them as such until someone points them out. Then I go, oh, yeah, that was funny. Like the time I stuck my own foot under the garage door because I was curious if had that automatic feature whereby it would pop back up if something passed under it. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! It did have the feature, but let me tell you, ladies, it takes a couple of seconds to activate. <BR/><BR/>Don't ask me why I didn't stick a block of wood under there instead. Hubby already asked me that after rolling on the floor w/ laughter when I tried to explain the bruise on my foot.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it fun to laugh at ourselves?<BR/>I love it.<BR/><BR/>Be HUGELY blessed!<BR/>SharSHARLENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457286835246419013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-62956207062098410642007-02-25T08:53:00.000-08:002007-02-25T08:53:00.000-08:00Great interview and the book sounds wonderful.
