Chapter 4: In the mirror
Part 2
Chapter 5: The children visit
Chapter 6: Coming home
Chapter 7: A familiar voice
Chapter 8: A new promise
Chapter 9: Heavenly fire
Chapter 10: Perspective and peace
One last thing: Do you do something special with your child that is unique to just you two? If you have several children, do you do something that is special for each one? Even if it's a different way to say I love you or give smooches on a nose or an ear that sets each child apart... do you do something that is "your thing" that they will always remember and know you by? I'm thinking about the importance of this today.
