From "A Childs Voice Finding My Way Home" Mamaw Wake Up
Coming Soon to Amazon 2026e.
Sometimes, healing asks us to return—not just to places, but to people. To memories. To longings we’ve kept tucked away for years. We don’t go back to get stuck. We go back to remember who we were, to reclaim what we lost, and sometimes, to say goodbye in a way we never had the chance to.
In this dream, I returned to the place where love once held me—the place where my Mamaw’s arms wrapped around me like a shelter. She was more than a grandmother. She was my mother when I didn’t have one. She gave me warmth when the world was cold, and tenderness when life was too harsh. Her love saved me.
And then she was gone.
When she died, something inside me cracked wide open. I didn’t just lose her—I lost the one place I ever truly felt safe. Grief settled in like a shadow, and no one could touch the part of me that broke.
In the dream, I begged her to wake up. I whispered all the things I hadn’t said, hoping she’d hear me—hoping love could cross that distance between the living and the gone.
But grief doesn’t always give us comfort. Sometimes, even in dreams, the answer is silence. Or worse, a cold “no.” And yet… that “no” doesn’t undo what she gave me.
Her love shaped me. It lives in my skin, my spirit, my memory. Even now, her touch remains—woven into the way I mother, the way I love, the way I heal. She is gone, but she is not lost. Not really.
The theater, the light, the stage—all of it felt like a return. Not just to Mamaw, but to the child in me who still longs for her. The child who needed to be held one more time. And maybe that’s what this dream was: a final scene, not to say goodbye, but to remember that real love doesn’t vanish when the lights go out.
It lives on in the stories we tell.
And maybe, just maybe, the reason I keep dreaming and writing and remembering… is to let that love hold me again—even if only for a little while.
that love hold me again—even if only for a little while.
Coming Soon: The Bridge Series – Finding Your Way Home
The Bridge Series: Finding Your Way Home is a collection of deeply reflective, story-based books created to gently guide readers across the inner landscapes of healing, remembrance, and belonging.
Each book in the series serves as a bridge—connecting past and present, pain and understanding, grief and hope. Through dream-based storytelling, lived memory, and quiet reflection, these books invite readers to listen inward, honor their stories, and begin the journey back to themselves.
Rooted in spiritual insight, ancestral memory, and the wisdom of the child within, the Bridge Series speaks to those who have walked through loss, trauma, or disconnection and are seeking meaning, restoration, and homecoming.
These are not books meant to be rushed. They are meant to be walked with—slowly, gently—one story, one reflection, one crossing at a time.
The first release in the series, A Child’s Voice: Finding My Way Home, will be available soon.
Additional titles in the Bridge Series will follow, each offering a new passage, a new reflection, and a new way forward.
