"The last of the Great Dreamers,
True Believers,
and Hopeful Romantics "

These writings are a collections of the lessons
I have learned at the greatest personal price
that anyone could ever be asked to pay.
The love of my life, and my children.
The loss of my family has forced me to take
a long hard look at my life, and at myself.

I saw many things that I didn't like.

This is my attempt to understand what went
wrong and why. There are no owners manuals
for these lives that we have been given, or
our marriages. I have had to try to figure
things out for myself. I surely don't have all
the answers, but I believe I have found a few.

While trying to understand why this loss occurred
I searched far and wide, but the answers were
few and far between. I talked to many people
who had undergone such a loss. I looked for books
that could give me the answers, but found none.

I have had to search deep down into my heart
and soul to learn. It is my hope that there are
some lesson I've learned, and written in my
book that can help at least one person to avoid
some of the mistakes that I have made.

If only I had known then what I know now.
