I Never Got to Say Goodbye

Mindstir Media Publishing — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:09:04 +0000

It is hard to say goodbye. If you don't get to say goodbye, it is even worse. There are all those things you wanted to say. There are all those things you wanted to do together... "I Never Got to Say Goodbye" addresses the Christian view of death and puts it in simple prose that children can easily understand. The book beautifully demonstrates that "goodbye" is not forever...

19: I Never Had a Birthday in Vietnam by Charles E. Restivo

admin — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 02:20:25 +0000

19: I never had a birthday in Vietnam was written to show how the guys out in the field lived from day to day and not knowing if it was going to be their last day. There's some laughter, sorrow, feeling so down that taking a bullet to end it didn't seem so bad. Guys are guys and the nineteen to twenty four year olds that were in Vietnam were a little more intense than most. Living with death day to day is something only another combat soldier would understand. This was written to get the reader to understand that.

Were you "Daddy's Little Girl"? Did you share that special relationship with your Dad? Did your Dad serve in the military and not talk much about it, or perhaps not at all? You need to read these personal stories from women who grew up sometimes never hearing or knowing about their dad's service in the military/war. Never hearing names of their buddies or even knowing where they fought til after they have died. Perhaps they saw their buddy die by their side or fought in bloody battles that they wanted to forget. These are all very special stories of ordinary Dads that served and were extraordinary Dads and Soldiers. Share these women's photographs, read their own words, their own versions, no structure, just words from their own hearts and memories.

Unforgettable Faces & Stories: Keepsakes

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 21:45:07 +0000

We all have something that reminds us of someone we loved and lost. Our lives are so busy today and we are running around and always in a hurry. Sometimes we stop quickly...we never know when we will see it...and then we spot it, we stop in our tracks. It may be a vase that we have in our home and walk by it every day, a picture on the wall, an old wine bottle, a medal, a piece of jewelry, an old tea pot, a chair, or a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, something that reminds us or brings us back to a memory of a friend, a parent, a brother or sister, or husband or wife. That special someone who you thought would be around forever to share in your life, and then they were gone...We have little treasures at home - "keepsakes" that we hold, smell, look at, or even hug sometimes. The feelings we get of presence and love, we cannot describe, only feel. For these keepsakes help keep memories of our lost ones alive in our hearts, and knowing that they are very close to us in our everyday lives. Read these stories from these amazing people that share their most intimate feelings and memories of people that have died, and then pull out some of your keepsakes and know that your loved one is there very close to you. Shed a tear or bear a smile...and think and feel the memories of your "Keepsake"...

Was your Best Friend, your mom, your dad, your brother or sister, or your husband? From when we were toddlers to seniors (some of us are not there yet), our friends are always there by our side to cheer us on, encourage us, hug us, have a beer with us, or sometimes just sit quietly with us.

Unforgettable Faces & Stories: Pet Tales: Unconditional Love

admin — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 21:20:41 +0000

Your heart will be captured by these beautiful stories in "Pet Tales". From two to four legged and feather and fur, our pets have always had a special place in our lives and hearts. They are with us in good times and in bad times, and they always know how we feel. They give us attention and love when they sense that we need it most. We tell them everything and they sit there and listen! It is unconditional love. We always know when they want a walk, need to go outside, want a treat or just to be petted. We spell words because they know what certain words mean! They even have a Christmas Stocking hanging from the fireplace mantle! We give them baths. They come back all clean and sometimes with sweet ribbons. They take the first opportunity to roll in dirt. They ignore us sometimes pretending not to care, but they know the sound of our tires when we drive in and then greet us. We see their faces getting white hairs and sometimes they have a challenge in getting up.... Then there are special service dogs that are priceless! They give hearing, sight, confidence, and motion to those in need. They are companions to all. When the time comes that we lose them for whatever reason, our heart aches due to the fact that we just lost a family member. We believe in Rainbow Bridge...enjoy these special stories from the heart that are near and dear to us. Enjoy these Unforgettable Faces and Stories!
