Dedicated to everyone whose heart and head are haunted with memories of an ‘old love’. Some emotions run too deep to let go, but ‘if only’ is a torture no one deserves. Treasure the happiness you had, for it was special, and many people spend their entire lives never knowing the feeling of true love. There are many reasons outside of your control as to why it was only meant to be a series of precious moments in time…
Thank you to my rock, Lawrence; Noemie (a kindred soul) for kind words at the precise moment I needed them; and my late mother, Lillian, whose influence is still so very strong.

I have no idea exactly when I began seeing angels, but I can’t seem to remember a time when I couldn’t. It feels like it’s always been a part of my life. It’s as natural as breathing and, yes, there are times when I wish that wasn’t the case. I seriously doubt anyone would choose to get drawn into something they don’t really understand. Why would they?
I’ve read books of course, and talked to many people who think they know how it all works. When I say ‘it’ I mean life after death, or whatever exists beyond the here and now. What I have found is a very diverse range of opinions, often given out as if they are factual and with a belief so strong that it seems unshakeable. And that’s true whether the person is an adamant sceptic, or a believer. The point is—how can anyone know for sure until it’s their turn to follow the light into what lies beyond?
