My true writing career began thirty some years ago while going through a valley, alone. I’ve come to believe that we all have a purpose in life, our path to walk.
Now that my middle son Chad Engstrom died on October 14, 2014, the rest of my life is not lived for myself, but to leave his legacy, not only because he was my son, but because of his beautiful soul.
May God guide me…. For our earthly selves are far from perfect, but may we be perfect in His love.

Cutest and captivating image I’ve seen. Truly inspring. Thank you kindly Katleen for sharing.
My late daughter’s birthday is coming soon and I’d like to create a similar card in her memory. How do I go about incorporating her picture within the image?
Hi Maudy, I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I’d be happy to help you in any way I can. Why don’t you email me: katjanzanderson@aol.com
I can easily incorporate your daughter’s photo in an image. Also, if you want to learn how to do that and if you have a computer I can give you directions. Take care,
Oh, Kathleen…How difficult this day must have been for you. Your son’s Birthday on International Bereaved Parents Day… My prayers are with, my dear friend. (((HUGS)))
Jude, I think of you as a bit of a pro at this after living it for 18 years, but of course we who grieve for our children know all too well that it’s a life long journey. I wish there would be no more parents who will face this nightmare, but sadly there will be many more. Your articles have given me hope that someday others will understand that this kind of grief has nothing to do with self pity or wanting wanting attention. My God, if they only knew. xo
Yes..the dichotomy of it all. We’d like them to know, but we don’t want them to know…because there’s only one way to know. (((HUGS))
One of the most heartbreaking things about losing a child is the separation, the not knowing they’re okay. <3
A beautiful tribute for Chad Kat. A mother’s love travels with her children and stays wth them for eternity. His essence is forever present in all the lives he has touched. I believe we all start from the universe and we all return there.
The following is something I wrote for my loved ones when I pass. I know you will understand it’s true meaning, I hope you like it. Love you. xo
There’s a place for me up there
Where the stars so brightly shine.
The spot between the Milky Way
and just near the great Devine.
One night as you look up
to see the twinkling of the lights.
Will you think of me with love?
I’ll be just off to the right.

Patricia you’ve been by my side throughout these last 2 1/2 years and I so appreciate you for taking the time to give me your support.I know others have too in different ways and if it weren’t for that I doubt I’d be here now. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to rework my website so that I can be of help to others. xo
