Okay, so this story almost made me cry and struck me as inspirational and unique at the same time. Danny Oertli's wife, Cyndi, had cancer and she was winning the battle. They thought she was doing okay, and I think it was 18 months later, she had a heart attack, since her heart was weaked from the cancer treatments and she already had a history of heart failure in her family. She died within two days. Now, he was a single father and still struggling with grief. One night, the sun was setting and he was driving home. His daughter saw the beautiful sky and asked him, "Did God let Mommy paint the sky tonight?" As the sunset lights your face, I see God knows how to heal...hearts. So he has Mommy paint the sky with deep ocean blue. She swirls the clouds red to dance just for you. The heavens flame with gold, slowly changing hue. The brilliance of a stage that was made to shine for you. And with each ember flare you watch a hand at play. Tender kisses fall as she paints what words could never say. Oh, and as a totally unrelated post script, that completely wrecks the mood, Emma gave me the idea of doing a blog post in my character's POV. She did it already with her characters, here. So, anyway, I'll probably be doing that when I get the time.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
