I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
Feel the LOVING ARMS which at this moment are holding you all in HIS EMBRACE. HE knows that you are grieving, and HE HAS BOTH OF YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY, safe in HIS GRIP.
To say goodbye to our loved one is the hardest thing I believe we are asked to do. Knowing in that movement of departure they are embraced by their wonderful Lord and Saviour is the comfort that eases the load of their passing just a little.
Dear David and Faye please accept my sincerest condolences for your great loss.
Much love to you both and your precious families, sending hugs and prayers at this time. Love Melva
