    About this ebook

    Susan Lee These

    Born August 18, 1954

    I was born the eldest of four children to Thomas and Wilma McLeod.

    Raised in North Vancouver with my two brothers and a sister, I was very lucky to have had a wonderful and normal childhood.

    We (John and I) were married in September of 1972. In 1975, we moved to the beautiful Sunshine

    Coast, where we have lived on McCullough Road. We have raised two lovely daughters.

    Poetry has always been a part of my life, so this has been a dream fulfilled.

    There have been well over five hundred people that passed through the doors of our home; each and every one of these people has left a mark on my heart somewhere. Perhaps one day, instead of writing

    poems, I will write of the wonderful stories that happened at McCulloughs Roost.

    I hope you enjoy reading this book as it is my heart and emotional expressions of people that have touched me throughout the years.

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
