Grief is Forever
"Losing someone you love will break your heart in many ways. The pain is forever, and you will ask yourself, how will you ever survive this unbearable sadness? When will you start healing? So many questions and no answers because everyone is different.
People say the pain gets more manageable, the anger leaves your heart, but your inner self is in tears most days. Your life changes, and it will take years to stop staring at that door or the smile you miss the most, those sweet moments, the embrace you will never feel again. You realize those feelings are just memories.
YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE when you look in the mirror, and you don't look too often because you recognize yourself as another woman. Your eyes are sad, your hair is disheveled clothes are messy, but that's okay. That's the new woman, the one that lets everything hang out. Alone in the dark place called grief.
Picture her punctured wound bleeding and the loss of a loved one; some people will not understand, only those who have experienced this pain. Then, some days, your smile is bright like a sparkling star, and you see miles away, called the future.
A white feather blows in your direction, warming your heart; it's a good day. Every time this happens, you look up and hold your damaged heart; a broken piece returns to the empty place like a puzzle and another element. It's called healing.
We have to remember time is ticking, and we are here for a moment. We are on borrowed time, so we must make the best of tomorrow. If we get the chance." – Martha Perez

“Pieces Of My Mind”
Let me begin by saying that words matter. They speak volumes. Depending on what’s said it can hit you deep in the core of your soul. It can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what’s said. It could bring you hurt or happiness. How you express your words say a lot about you so if you care about who you’re speaking to choose your words wisely.
I have supernatural lover thrillers, true stories, romance, and fiction books that take you on a journey. When you read my books I take you out of this world and right into my mind.
I want you to know Martha Perez. The real me. The woman behind the books. I am a woman with a lot of passion. Four things that I’m most passionate about is love, family, books, and writing.
When I first started this journey I was on a mission to write twenty-five books. 7 years later and I can’t believe I am almost at my thirtieth. I thought writing these many books would drain me. I felt like I would be exhausted. I can honestly say that over the years my passion for writing has grown so much that I want to write many more books after I reach book forty.
My imagination runs wild, and I want to share it with the world. I had a dream of becoming an Author. That’s how it started. I wrote one book and, five years later, nineteen books. Who says dreams don’t come true? I would disagree. This is my dream and it feels like it’s coming true every time I pick up a pen. I wanted to make a difference in this world. I feel that I am. I had a difficult past. I don’t let that keep me thinking negatively about it because my past brought me to my future.
Reading a book brings feelings of romance. It is a huge part of history. It brings magic to a person’s world and electricity to the soul. It feeds your brain and gives it a life of wonders.
You can not control how much you read when you have a passion for it. You just find yourself reading more and more. It has become a constant part of my life.
“The only way of bearing life’s hurdles is to go through it. Anonymity is a part of life. Live in a way that makes you feel alive or die trying to be, all you could be. Because the unknown will always come tomorrow, and so will the future. Life is borrowed. You will never get yesterday back. So what you do daily will bring so much humor and laughter if you focus on your dreams.
Being strong enough takes courage.
You have to consider the unknown ¬– will you fall and stumble along the way? Those are the questions that life has to offer. Your brain. -Martha Perez

P.S. I Forgive You; A Broken Legacy By D.G. Kaye.
When I started to read this astonishing true story, I have to say I was very proud of D.G. Kaye; this is a heart-wrenching story with so many emotions about a mother and daughter relationship having a narcissistic mother and being so selfish and damaging her child.
A mother is supposed to love and treasure the gift God gave her; instead, she gave her pain and sorrow. I honestly relate to this story. D. G. Kaye is a fantastic woman. It is vital to tell such a heartrending and emotional story; she has so much courage to heal herself and others.
You live with this all your life wondering why? What did I do wrong? You start to question and blame yourself. It's living with a dysfunctional family; it's never your fault; it's all we know until you're an adult that you realize how messy life is. She has to decide to forgive her mother. I think it's up to the person that was hurt to make such a tough choice—a page-turner.
Many of us came from a flawed family. Unfortunately, we can't choose our parents, and when a child is abused, they will carry the pain throughout their lives. It's an emotional roller coaster; the author speaks from her heart and soul. You will have tears flow down your cheeks. It's not easy to forgive, but I am glad she has written this book.
A mother's love should be unconditional, but when they have gambling and other problems, they exercise control over their children by being selfish and not loving. It's a recipe for disaster. Why her mother wasn't happy reflects on her daughter's hurt she carries throughout her life and the neglect and abuse of the family.
I understand why writing her journey was so important. It's like letting go of a butterfly jarred to be free to fly away from the Suffocation from her past.
I don't think we can ever understand why some parents do what they do. We must heal from the bad and be grateful for the good. I could relate with D.G. Kaye. My parents were alcoholics and gave us away. It's important to forgive, but you never forget. I highly recommend this fantastic book.

SUGAR BEAR
Another fantastic book by the talented author Martha Perez; Sugar Bear
The Book is Extraordinary! Based on a True Story.
Pet lovers and animal lovers would appreciate Sugar Bear's journey. It's sincere, fun, and gives you insight into the friendly mind of a pet. Their mom and dad are their parents and give them lots of love.
Pets like to play and show off for those treats. Sugar Bear was one of the best! He left his paw prints all over our loving home and hearts! As a bonus, there are poems and pictures throughout the book. Losing a pet is not easy; it's sorrowful, but we have memories to warm our hearts.
Our hearts will be healed with Toby and Bella. Our new puppies are welcome here with many hugs and kisses. They will always have a home and it's with us. We see the light and joy they keep bringing to us each day. They took away the months of darkness that we thought would never disappear.
We welcome the noise, their playful barks, and have hope that they will give us many more years. We treat them so well and I can see in their eyes that Toby and Bella know how special they are to us. They smell Sugar Bear's paws and scent with the respect that he was here first.
If you're a pet lover, this book is for you. I highly recommend buying your copy. Enjoy the read!

Twenty Years: After "I Do" My Review
Twenty years started with a promise. D.G. Kaye had no limits for the love of her life.
A heartfelt personal memoir is written beautifully by the author D.G. Kaye. This story is my favorite book by far this year.
She shares taking the plunge and commenting on the love of her life, and truth be told, we never could predict the future.
Gorden is a lot older than D.G. Kaye. I could feel her worrisome mind. She did take the chance.
The way she talked about her husband and the unconditional love between them is beautiful, even though a marriage is a lot of work.
Each chapter of her words was the good, the bad, and the ugly, but her life with Gorden was a lovely daily sprinkle of glitter with love, laughter, stability, health-giving and age differences, respect, and lots of honey past, today, and future.
The author talks about the strength of the struggles they both endured, yet they embrace handling life together with love, kindness, and creative planning.
Kate is Awe-inspiring with her sincere overpowering words that touch my heart and soul. Life is not perfect; by reading her love story, I could honestly say she came close to the happiness that people wait for a lifetime with faithfulness, honoring their vows to smile and laugh at the end of the day.
The simple things in life are watching the sunset, having morning coffee together, hugs, and making love are a lot more than the little things in a couple's life. I truly loved reading this book.
I learned from others and my own mistakes. The author's story is a touching and beautiful tribute to her marriage.
Keeping a marriage together and having compassion in everyday life is an emotional task; they choose to handle their day-to-day lives gracefully and in harmony.
I highly recommend the extraordinary book.

MY BELOVED SON
It's been five years since you have been gone. We have missed you so much during the most challenging years of our lives. Wearing your white wings and feeling no more pain gives me the strength to go on. There is not a moment I don't think of you.
My heart aches, but then the memories come to mind, and I could smile and feel happy that I am your mother, and the love we shared is forever—your giving heart for everyone was a gift from God.
After five years of sorrow, shedding tears so many fears, it always hurts to write what I feel—so many tears. I don't feel the heaviness in my soul or the anger I once felt in my heart. I had to accept what is…."
That was the most challenging part of grieving, letting you go. It was unbearable; it's tolerable "as the years passed," I always felt, what if I could have helped you somehow. Life has gone on without you, Rudy, which makes me sorrowful because you were the center of our universe.
I could have taken anything, but this doesn't feel warm-hearted. The pain never goes away. It stays to remind me you are not here with me anymore. In my heart, there will always be a piece missing.
Rudy, you were part of my dream. I believe your dreams would have come true. I am a true believer God takes the good ones. Five years without my precious son. I want you to know I will always love you forever.
Love you always,
Mom

SNOW DAY
I was bored on a lonely sunny day. It was cold out. It was snowing a lot last night. All I have is my writing and my big 4x4 truck, that I do a lot of my writing in. I went to clean my garage. After I took one look at that disaster, I decided not to. There are just too many things that are in a disarray. So I decided to drive my truck and see if I can find a quiet place to write, even though I have nothing on my mind to write about that would get me to take out my pen.
As I opened my garage door, my truck eased out and I saw the beautiful white snow all over the place. Then at one point during my drive, I made a turn by one of my neighbor friend's place and I saw that there was a lot of ice down his street. That’s when I realized that I just bought a ridiculous amount of salt bags yesterday. They are so heavy, that I left it in the back of the truck. So, I told him to feel free and grab as many as he would like. Relieved by what I just said, he threw one over his shoulder and made his way to his walkway. Then he grabbed another bag and poured some under his car.
I took out the shovels that I bought yesterday and started helping him too. The neighbor next door didn’t have any salt too. She said that they ran out by the time she got there. I told her the same thing. So, she grabbed salt and we all got busy getting the ice to melt.
By the time we were finished, it was lunchtime, and my neighbor invited us to eat. I accepted his offer right away. His neighbor and I were impressed with his cooking, and we joked about how exhausted we were. Then I realized how difficult their day would have been if I didn’t make that turn down my neighbor’s street. And I wouldn’t have had such a lovely day. Plus, I met a new friend. That day I decided there was nothing I needed to write. I'll just save my writing for another day. Helping a few people was fulfilling enough for me, to enjoy the rest of this beautiful winter night. - Martha Perez
