ROSE's forever

"ROSE's forever" is a bright and breezy yarn from start to finish. At first read, you will think that it's an autobiography but there's more. It's a Love Letter to my Guardian Angel, Rose Murphy, without whom I would not have lived one minute. Rose was not a midwife, yet she helped deliver me - feet first with the umbilical cord around my scrawny neck. Here I am at 80 years old, to sing her praises. Rose was not a Mother, yet she nurtured me. Rose was not a teacher, yet she taught me. Lessons of Love, and Loyalty. Asking Questions and Finding Patterns were high on her curriculum. Yes, this is a Love Letter to Rose, who continues to protect me from peril, rescue me from ruin, resuscitate my resolve and mentor my metamorphosis. Rose transformed me from a little lost lad - a pathetic 'Millar, Millar caterpillar' into a resilient fun loving "Flutterboy! I knew her in the flesh for 40 years and it's been 40 years since she rose to the Spiritual Realm. Yes, my Rose is forever! If you throw your arms up in the air and say, "I don't believe a word of this. It's all Fantasy!" I applaud you. I feel the same way even though I lived through every crazy moment of it. It's been an exciting journey and I am privileged to share it with lovely people - like you. To Rose and all my friends - much love for showing me that Life is not the result of money or greed. Life is the art of celebrating every HERE and NOW that comes our way. Here's to all those with whom we share our journey. Our World needs more Roses. Along with a dollop of Serendipity
