Through the years, there have been loves and losses. We all have them, move forward in hope of becoming a better person. Celebrating and cherishing special times as well. I especially dedicate this book to those who have caused my heart to flutter and my pen to swirl Many quiet days and evenings, I have sat and reflected upon love, nature, and God and Angels. With candles lit and a fire blazing in the fireplace, or being still, and listening to nature, words began to flow, as if someone was whispering them to me. Thoughts, smiles, tenderness, kisses, and holding people near to my heart, make me smile and light up my soul. Thoughts of beyond this life, of once again being with loved ones, and hopefully, to have touched their lives, in the same way they have touched mine. When was the last time you received a hand-written letter? Remember the love letters you received when you were young? How you felt? Such an innocent expression of how their heart and soul felt. I hope you have these memories. In high school, my boyfriend knew which friends would be in my classes. Every day, he asked them to give me notes. They were folded like a football. What made it even sweeter, we would see each other between classes and after school...and yet, he still gave love letters to me. I did the same. We spoke and fantasized about life together. To be married and what our children would be named. It was innocent and beautiful. We were never afraid. We simply expressed our love for one another. Shortly after high school, he passed away. And yet, he still is with me, and leaves me dimes, and often, in the strangest of places. At times, I smell his cologne, and can feel his arms around me. Protecting me. Caring for me. Perhaps, one day, I may put our love letters in a book. These are memories to treasure. The losses within my life have taught me to express my love. What if the one you love is gone tomorrow, and you didn't get to tell them how much you love them, and how blessed you have been, and what a better person you are, for having them in your life. Love is what we long for most in life. Embrace it and express how you feel. To yourself be true live with no regrets. Crave all before us when souls are close Time is an orchestrated symphony. God bless you, Susan
