Come Journey with Me

By Peter Cole

I am a strong believer in positivity and in the principle that if you connect yourself with strong ethics and morals, if you aim to be good and genuine in everything you do, if you care for others, and if you recognise and respond to the need for trust, honesty, and care in all relationships that you hold, then you will live your life to its full potential; you will give to society and gain personally. I have written a number of books that build on this principle, that follow the idea that once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones; you'll start having positive results, Willie Nelson. These book titles include Standing in Pain Stronger than Before, Betrayals and Jealousy, and Journey of Hope: The Games Are Over.

This book, the fourth in my collection, continues to build on the ideals of basic morals and ethics but focuses them towards friendship. In this book, I explore what friendships are and why they are important. I move on to look at what happens when friendships end, either positively or negatively, and how to manage the loss of such friendships in as emotionally stable a way as possible. The value and importance of friendship is explored, with key chapters focusing on the longevity of friendship and the ease at which those who love and care for you the most can be lost when the status of an individual changes.

Dedication

This book is dedicated with Love and Affection to my wife Paullette, our Princess Kaysha, Prince Jonathan, Prince Richard and not for forgetting Chanell and David to you all I owe a depth of gratitude for your ceaseless and untiring efforts.

And to all my readers I hope that you have at least half as much fun in the reading of this book as I’ve had in the writing.

I may not be able to express my words to you physically but actions speak louder than words.

The price of success is hard work, day to day dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. By Vince Lombardi

Preface

Mr. Peter Cole book has a well-deserved reputation for being captivating and classy. A visit here is a real voyage of discovery and a fantastic journey, making you go further to paradise. His book, a painted picture like on the Emerald Isle, offers fun, culture and scenery in equal measure for all readers.

The book enables one or all of its readers to go free when reading this book each time. A beautiful country city whose people add to the attraction, enjoyment is there for all. There is nothing more fundamental or necessary in today’s world than good holiday trips. I am convinced that this book will be of great benefit to the people or persons in the field of going or looking for a place to go.

This book as a perfect blend of history and vibrancy. Spain has lots to order beyond the houses and beer it is so famous for. A unique experience is on offer in this book that is increasingly popular among readers. I have had the singular privilege to have read and written to foreword to other books of Mr. Peter Cole’s, in the original form and the present volume.

Peter and family monuments on this beautiful countryside, and an eclectic mix of restaurants, according to his book, cannot be missed. Filled with history and mystery, Scotland is a charming country with an abundance of festivals and cultural delight. Steeped in unbelievable amounts of artistic heritage within Peter, it is possible to pencil a truly fascinating story of this city and country. Food and fashion also contributes to the delights awaiting visitors. For this, I congratulate him.

Preamble

My Father’s Dad Message

Faye – To my wonderful husband who is loving, supportive, caring, and a great friend! You are a safe haven in the storms of life. In watching how you live your life and your devotion to our family, you are a daily inspiration to both me and to our children! The kindness you show to other people rubs off on them; they see you help others and give generously.

I am so blessed by the way that you lead our family in faith and truth: you love us with such a gracious and giving heart. On Father’s Day, I hope you know how thankful we are for you. Thank you for being who you are and for all that you do for us. Happy Father’s Day to a great dad and a wonderful husband! Love you always, Faye xxx

Ella – I see a man who represents what our family is, where we come from, and how strong our family is. The older I get, the more I realise just how much you’ve given me and my brothers through our whole life. You’re a great man, Dad, and I am proud that you’re my father I love you always, Ella xxx

Charlie – For a really special dad. I thank you for another year of inspiration and determination to do better for us and for yourself. Thank you for always reminding us that the magnitude of the battles today are nothing compared to the size of the blessings that are coming tomorrow. xxx

Luis – You’re a dad who listens when I need to talk. Shares successes and sympathises with problems. I know you have always tried hard for me and the rest of the family, and I am truly lucky and grateful to have a dad like you. I am sorry for licking your spoon.
