A letter/journal for the special child that is my nephew too read when he is older so he can see how many lives he has changed in his short life

My father had been dying for almost twenty years. There is a difference though between dying and death. One is ever in the future, the other in a catastrophic now. And it is one thing to assign blame and live accordingly and another to reconcile two lifetimes and understand, despite it being too late, that a father cares. More shocking still, that you do. I pictured his death differently every time I ventured into a future divested of constant need. I imagined his dying a freeing thing for both of us- he escaping his failing body, I no longer at the beck and call of this and that needing doing. Turns out... death or near-death is a palpable thing. The one dying and the one observing death both feel the finality. There remains naught but to connect and seek, those final moments, some forgiveness.

A collection of poems and facts for different days of the month of August .

Forever Torn is the true and amazing story of two brothers and three generations of one family - a family torn apart by deaths, poverty, deceit and a promise made by a small boy to his Grandfather over 80 years ago. It is the story of one man who refused to acknowledge his past and his brother who remained bound to protect the secret, despite his own pain. If you have enjoyed fictional epics such as Blood Brothers and Kane and Abel, you will love Forever Torn, which unlike the aforementioned is based on a true and tragic story.
