The purpose of this book is to inspire, educate, and help. I want hurting people to see that regardless of our tragedies or present circumstances, we don’t have to live in or cause misery. I want people to know that when we’ve been stripped of everything that really matters, including our heart, faith will still be there just waiting for us to lean on. In a world where everything has such a high price, faith is free and powerful and it’s ours for the taking. No one can take faith away from us--only we ourselves can do that.
It’s okay to smile. It’s okay to laugh. And it’s okay to have fun even though a big piece of your heart is gone. It’s okay to enjoy life without feeling guilty. The best way to honor your child, your love, your sister, your brother, your father, or your mother is to live this life with no regrets. Your children who have passed would never want you to self-destruct. They would want you to do everything you’ve always wanted to do and try to be as happy as you can. Of course, they wouldn’t want you to forget about them. So don’t. Do all the things you’ve always wanted to do, and talk about what they would say or laugh about if they were here. Cry if you must—that’s okay too. But don’t stay in a miserable state. That would sadden your loved one the most. Depending upon which messages or lessons you want to absorb and relate to as they pertain to your own life’s circumstances, there is much value in this book for every reader. It is here to freely provide hope, faith, and love to all.
