The birth of a story.
One night while tucking
my youngest child in bed, we went through our usual routine of bedtime stories,
hugs, kisses, etc…and when I was leaving the room, she called to me and said,
“Mama, I love you SO much!”
For fun, I replied, “How
much is so much?” and she began to
count off on her wee fingers,
“I love you 1, 2, 3, 4,
7, 9, 13, 11-teen!”
It was one of those flash-freeze moments that tattoo themselves permanently to your heart. I think
every mother has a moment or ten like that for each of their kids held safe
inside and it keeps us warm. I remember thinking to myself as I shut off her light and walked out the door, that if I had to write a
test to get into Heaven, this would be one of the questions. Proof my life was
well-lived and well-loved.
So the premise of my
little book was born and I wrote it way back in 2003, and not knowing who would
publish or buy a non-denominational story about Heaven, love and children, it
has been gathering dust on a shelf ever since.
But now, with the advent
of ebooks and Smashwords
publishing, I have put it for sale online and hope it takes flight.
Here is the link and the descriptions…I
hope you help to spread the word!
