À propos du livre
Prior to meeting Remi, Elliot had filled his emotional needs with Spot. Spot went everywhere with him. That would change and his trust and faith would be put in Remi as his life became unpredictable and confusing through no fault of his own. When they were together, Remi was totally engaged in Elliot. He could trust that she would always have a listening ear and a warm smile just because he was near her.
Unfortunately, Remi’s life went into upheaval at a younger age than Elliot’s had. What was predictable in her life is that she would come to Nana and Papa’s everyday and Elliot would be there. He was her friend, her protector and when she could wrap a phrase around her experiences he was her listener. They were there for each other in bad times and good times and helped each other make sense out of what to them was a nonsensical world.
Together they have forged an emotional haven which has allowed them to move on through their formative years reasonably secure just by knowing they have each other. They have each learned what love and true friendship is. That is the memory I seek to insure will never be forgotten.
Elliot’s school year has been long for Remi. They snatch a day here, an hour there or a party filled with distractions. At this writing, Remi’s light from within is growing dim and her exuberance for life is suppressed but summer begins next week and they will again have a chance to return to the time when they were together every day and life was good.
À propos du créateur
I retired in late 2006. My retirement ended in January of 2008 when a small blessing was placed in my lap. That blessing would be Elliot. We shared our weekdays together and they were filled with happiness. In April of 2010 another wee blessing, Remi, came to share our days. Her presence doubled the fun and indeed made our days infinitely more interesting. Elliot is now in school. Remi will start preschool in 2015 and kindergarten in the fall. I will still see them each day after school. While they are in school, I will begin something I have always wanted to do. That would be to write and illustrate children’s books. You would be right if you are thinking they are my inspiration. Their adventures have already scripted several books that I am sure they will enjoy and other children will identify with.
