The H Book

By Dr. Tarja Pelto Geis and Dr. Dorothy Wessel

The H Book is a conglomeration of two pesonalities: light and furious emotions, contrasting in stories and poems, meaningful, serious, and buoyant. Haiti, the Holocaust, HIV, Heaven, Hell, Cancer, deep and emotional, yet simple, joyful, and frivolous...our daily WORLD in one book...THE H BOOK.

Heaven and Earth intertwining, childhood pleasures and joys, the strife of life and death, altogether within these covers. And yet, there is great HOPE for the future... BELIEVE!

Profits from this publication will go toward research of cures for CANCER. Too many have died. Too many have suffered and too many are lost to CANCER, including the coauthor and her husband. May they rest in eternal grace and peace. May a cure come soon.

Dedication

This book of writings is a combination of two dear friends (Tarja and Dotty). Dotty Wessel was a mentor, teacher, philosopher, traveler, and great friend. Profits from The H Book are devoted and donated to fight cancer.

This publication is dedicated to the coauthor and dear friend, Dr. Dorothy (Dotty) Sullivan Wessel and her brilliant, energetic life, and courageous fight with cancer (1928-2005). It is also dedicated to her husband, Herman Wessel, and his pleasure of life and his ultimate demise to cancer (1927-2006). They join each other in eternal rest as they did in life.

For the love of life and living, I dedicate this book to my husband of over 40 years, Jack, and to my sons, Jeff and Steve. I also dedicate it to my wonderful, caring brother, Don J. Pelto, Esq., and to my loving parents, Calvin and Pirkko Pelto.

FOREVER,

WITH LOVE,

Tarja

REINCARNATION

By Dr. Tarja Geis

Are we new?

Is each soul sparkling

Without past influences?

How do infants,

Already have distinct personalities?

A child prodigy?

How is that talent possible?

Are we a blank slate?

Are our paths set at birth?

Are our talents existing

Before we are born?

Are our passions

And our talents

Already predetermined?

Is the cause a past life?

Reincarnation.

HAPPINESS

By Dr. Tarja Geis

A loving husband,

So constant and supportive.

Parents who show

Their caring,

In so many ways.

Sons who are

Growing into men

Who respect and show

Their values daily.

A brother,

Stoic and reserved,

Yet tender and gentle.

Giving and helping,

Always there.

Pets and joys,

Health and safety.

God has blessed us.

As the sun shines

And blue skies

Envelope us,

Gifts from God,

Blessings are abundant.

SANDWICHES

By Dr. Dorothy Wessel

I like to make sandwiches,

Piled up so high.

Egg salad, tuna

And ham on rye.

But now,

Way down in my belly,

All I want is,

Peanut butter and jelly!

SEASHORE
