The last thing I heard was her laughter. My daughter Kate passed away years ago but I can still hear her wonderful laugh that day in my mind.Kate had such an enormous impact on my life. The nineteen years we had together changed my world for the better. I so loved being her mother. There was a song that used to play on the radio in the late seventies when she was about three and we would sing it together. ‘You and Me Against the World’ by Helen Reddy. As her mother I thought the following lines pertained to my passing first.”For all the times we cried, I always felt that God was on our side. And when one of us is gone and one of us is left to carry on… think of all the things that we’ve been through… our memories alone will see us through. Think about the days of me and you. Me and you against the world.”
I wrote my first novel “The Angel’s Daughter’ in her memory. I’ve written two more novels in the Mystic Bay Series about angels living as humans these last few years. The stories center on guidance from angels, love, loss and forgiveness. Her memory is precious helping me write and carrying me through the rainy days to the sunshiny days. For believing there is a heaven and Kate was heaven sent and she is there…well, remembering Kate will see me through.
