TWO EAGLES SOAR
REFLECTIONS ON THE THREE YEARS SINCE MY SON'S DEATH
A TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL
Sam, in the quiet moments of reflection, I feel the warmth of your journey that began on this day three years ago, not as an end but as a beautiful transformation. You cast off the burdens of this world to soar into a realm of peace and elevated wisdom. Your soul, now unbound, shines like a beacon of pure, radiant light, touching us from the heavenly spheres.
In the cosmos, you've found a kinship with our forebears. You've discovered solace and guidance there amid the tapestry of our shared history. And when Craig joined you in that infinite expanse, I sensed the embrace of your welcome, a testament to a love that transcends the earthly world we inhabit.
Your essence remains a gentle, loving murmur in our daily lives. It's there in the soft whisper of the breeze, the tender rustle of leaves, and the protective cloak of the night. Each moment is a reminder of the prosperous, purposeful years you spent with us and the spiritual odyssey you now traverse.
A few days ago, Max and I witnessed the flight of two bald eagles directly above our home that captured the essence of your soul's message, soaring, free, and majestic—a reminder of your enduring presence and the love that binds us eternally.
As we honor you, Sam, we celebrate your life, the journey you continue, and our everlasting bond. Your soul, glowing with eternal light, is forever woven into the fabric of our lives, deeply cherished and enveloped in profound love.
WHY I WROTE BETWEEN TWO GATES
On January 27th, 2021, the fabric of my world was forever changed by the sudden loss of my thirty-two-year-old son, Samuel. This profound and heart-wrenching grief launched me on a quest to understand the soul's journey beyond the veil of death. Driven by a deep yearning to bridge the gap between our realms, I sought to reconnect with my son's spirit and feel his presence again.
In this pursuit, I turned to my writing, discovering it as a sacred space where stories transcended mere words on a page. It became a conduit to the metaphysical, a revelation that our narratives extend beyond earthly existence, dancing in the eternal realm of souls.
"Between Two Gates - A Young Man’s Quest Toward Birth" emerged from the embers of Sam's departure, chronicling his odyssey from the moment of death toward his rebirth. This journey of putting pen to paper evolved into an unexpected partnership with Sam, blurring the lines between the living and the spiritual world.
Sam's essence imbued the writing with divine insight, transforming it into a medium that seeks to touch the hearts and souls of readers. This creative odyssey, marrying the physical with the spiritual, weaves a story that pulsates with vitality and offers glimpses into the enigmatic mysteries of the soul.
This book has ignited an indescribable joy, serving as a beacon of light in my mourning. It stands as a testament to the healing power of love and creativity. "Between Two Gates" is not just a tribute to Sam's enduring legacy and our unbreakable bond but a beacon of hope and connection.
I hope this novel resonates as a symbol of the everlasting bond between a parent and child, bridging the chasm between realms and offering comfort and hope to all who embark on this extraordinary journey of remembrance and resilience.
