When Love Is a "New Beginning"...: A Handbook to Remembering What We Should Never Forget

By Gwen Editin

what not to forget


Physical limitations are a visible handicap

but even more debilitating is the

inability to imagine, or

the lack of memories upon which to travel.


This book was written to help the reader

identify the importance

of building memories as you

continue on your journey of life.


Tip # 1:

The past cannot hurt you, unless you do not learn from it


Tip # 2:

If you cannot learn from past mistakes, you can expect to repeat them


Tip # 3:

Possessions are meaningless if you have no one to share them with
BR>
Tip # 4:

It is in sharing, that we achieve certainty there is purpose for our lives


May you reach your final destination

blessed with the inability to forget

Gwen Editin

Love brings with it such a myriad of emotion when you move out of home at the age of 16, begin living a life of "sin," elope at the age of 18, are divorced at the age of 25, re-married at 28, widowed at 35, and re-married at the age of 40. Just when you think you "have it all" love can disappear, mysteriously reappearing in the most unlikely places. This book was written to re-create and share emotions involving the evolution of love. Discovering oneself while falling in love, is a journey to be shared. Sometimes all too soon forgotten, it is love that helps us to grow and if we are lucky - we learn to fly.

 Today, Tomorrow and Forever

Today, tomorrow and forever - words from the wedding vows they had just witnessed. Some day, she hoped to reply to his question with a simple I do. Was it always or forever that is longer? He had given her the most wonderful hug last night. She hoped he had felt her response. But perhaps he was just relieved.

She had known by the look on his face that he had come to say goodbye and that he was leaving that night. Soon they would again be living separate lives, with no guarantee when their paths might cross.

Without him by her side, suddenly she felt so alone.

When he had looked her way, his eyes were both sad and distant. Haunted, really. She closed her eyes to remember how gently he had taken her hand and squeezed it. That gesture was one she wanted to re-live again and again.

Last night she was awakened by the sound of blinds flapping on the open window. It was then she realized that she had fallen in love.

With what? she asked herself. Or better yet, with whom?

Yet somehow that simple caress of her hand felt so right. When his arms had tightened around her, she felt she couldn't breathe.

She resolved that the next time, she would try harder to discover his secrets. Something felt different, now that she had decided to follow her heart. How long must she wait?

Whatever the outcome, she knew she would hold the memory of his touch, in her heart forever.
