I may have to run out for the paperback just so that I have both. Each cover is stunning. I hope that you always have happy memories to hold you through each day. There are people who Jack has made an impact on. We recently had 2 teen girls die in a car accident in our area. It brought back many memories of a friend who had died right before my 16th birthday. She is always on my mind. I decided to send a card to her mom & sister sharing some of our memories. I wanted them to know that even though it has been more than 20 years, she is always there & we had some really great times. I hope that you will have someone share those happy times with you. Your family is such a blessing.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277238426733977275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-11158817169157975722015-08-15T08:43:10.888-07:002015-08-15T08:43:10.888-07:00Hey, Anna!

At the first moment, I felt your pain, your tears and it makes me feel sad, but after, it makes me thought about life and my work. I work with cancer children and it's really hard sometimes. But you learned me to much about how listen and care of theirs parents. I don't know how is lose your little child, because I don't have anyone, but now I can imagine how it hurts to much and how is possible continue living with this pain. Thanks for help me to much! I hope that God will continue to bless you to help people passing all light inside you to the rest of the world.<br />With love,<br />LetíciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-62098862973169216342015-08-10T11:44:39.709-07:002015-08-10T11:44:39.709-07:00Congratulations on the paperback!

By the way, I tried commenting a while back on your post about the inside oozing out, but it never seems to work when I do it on my phone. Anyway, I just want you to know I loved that post. For many reasons. <br />It's been incredible following you and your journey. Your courage, strength and honesty are inspirational...it's been so meaningful to me. I think of you and your family often. I'm so glad Rare Bird will make its way into more people's hearts. Much love to you, Anna. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993610522830649033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-32820617029017753552015-07-31T14:27:20.375-07:002015-07-31T14:27:20.375-07:00I am so proud of you and the stories you still hav...I am so proud of you and the stories you still have to tell.A Speckled Trouthttp://www.aspeckledtrout.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-44949954884685017202015-07-31T12:01:58.636-07:002015-07-31T12:01:58.636-07:00The new cover is just as inviting as the hard cove...The new cover is just as inviting as the hard cover is.

I love the paperback cover & wish the publishers would have recognized the significance of the feather as well. I was drawn to your book from a Facebook share and ordered the Kindle version. I'm still fairly new in my journey with grief and have found your words and insights healing. I devour others' stories and seek any glimmer of illumination that may bring a little peace and comfort on my journey. Know that you are helping this soul. My heart is open and the coincidences I've experienced early on seem to be weaved together directing me to a yet unknown discovery. The signs I'm receiving from my Son are showing me that every choice I've made in my life, regardless of whether it be career, love, faith, health or relationship related, are creating synchronicities preparing me for what or whom I was meant to do or be. As difficult as this road is to navigate, gratefulness fills my heart that I am able to take a step forward most days. Grief--an adventure.
