My Dearest Rose. It's tragic and hopeful, eventful and fun, life defining and simple. The ups are up there and the downs leave you wondering if Iris will make it through, but even with all this my hope is that everyone can see the point of the story. If anyone were to ask me why this would be my response.
Life is as unpredictable as where the next road could take you or what the outcome of your next decision will be. Along with the unpredictability it can change as quickly as the beat of a heart. You will always have problems but it really depends on how strong you choose to be that will determine if you can make it through those problems. You can be at your weakest point in life and the next day find a spark of a flame as you sift through the embers of what is left. Keep that flame alive! The point is to fearlessly do what terrifies you. Face it, look it in the eye, and jump into the water. If it's the wrong choice learn from it, but the wrong choice is always better then the 'what ifs' you would face if you didn't do it. What could my life be like? The point is to let yourself be loved and fall madly in love in return. Get on your knees and pray, stretch your fingers towards the sky and reach for the light. Only then will you see things for what they truely are. Fight to survive, find something to live for and never let go of it. Fall in love with your best friend. Fall in love with a stranger. Fall in love in the most unpredicatable way. Jump over your hurdles, face your obstacles and keep going. You will get knocked down and you will fall, but when you get back up you will realize that you lived through it. If things came to easily they would be hard to be seen as a blessing and you will be much more appreciative in the long run. Forgive those who have hurt you and if they keep hurting you it's alright to lose your faith in them. It's okay to say that they will never change. Tell someone whatever it is that you need to tell them because it would be so much better to put yourself out there and possibly look stupid then to miss out on the chance. The reality is you may never have that chance again. Unspoken words can break a heart. Live, and do it fearless.
Now as for the second part. It is a different story, of course. New situations. New obstacles. New days to the life of Iris and Jason. What is up Jason's sleeve next? What problem will Iris be facing next? How crazy is Ian now? Haha! Along with...*drum roll* new characters. We will be introducing Sam (a vietnam vet) Rachel (a girl most will hate) Kate (it's a surprise!) Johnny (Kates son) Shilah (Josephs nephew) Kiah (Josephs son) Comfort (Josephs daughter) and we will be seeing more of Tala, Dane, and Ralina ( the waitress)! My hopes is that it will be completed by the end of fall and I am very excited to be getting it out to everyone! I won't tell you the name. That will be a surprise as well! I have to say that so far I have really enjoyed writing this one just as much as the first one and I'm having a little trouble right now keeping my fingers from giving a sneak peek. So for those who are fans if you liked the first one I hope you love the second. And yes! There will be a second! To those who are just stumbling on this page. You must get the first book to understand the second. With that all being said I hope everyone who reads this has a beautiful starry night. Dream sweetly.
