    About this ebook

    A Note from the Author
    Our life is filled with friends and angels. God sends us angels in disguise. I believe my mother was an angel on earth sent to earth to be my mom and teach me about Gods love. I was an only child; living, loving and learning from my angel. She is now an angel in heaven. Each friend comes into our life for a special purpose; they learn from us, we learn from them, sometimes they stay and sometimes they leave. Often we wonder about friends who are no longer around us. Perhaps their mission in our lives was fulfilled and they moved on. The first poem is about my seven life friends. We meet, we laugh, we celebrate, we eat, we cry and we have remained friends throughout the years (Gloria, Alva, Ancelma, Thelma, Sally, Julie, Maria Elena.) Thank you for a beautiful friendship. Gods love for us is real! The poems are easy to read and inspired by my devotion and love for Christ. I wish to thank my mother Catalina R. Garcia for teaching me about Gods Love. A message to my loving dad Refugio Garcia; thank you dad God Bless you in heaven.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      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
