Epilogue


               I have come to know that every time I surrender to the
            Messenger, He teaches me something important. My lesson
            from Lenora was gargantuan. The more I grew and evolved and
            became sensitive to the Spirit, the more grace I was granted.
            When it became my turn to extend that grace to my old friend,
            I knew I could not hesitate. Grace isn’t always easy but it is
            always worth it.


            Keldon: My son is truly my life’s greatest accomplishment. Yes,
            I know all I did was birth him, and I know he’s become a stellar
            young man quite independently of his mother, but I can’t help
            feeling immense pride. I never thought I’d only have one child
            but, when Gord and I should have been working on growing
            our family, we were busy keeping the one we had intact. For
            years I grieved not having another baby, but Keldon has proven
            to be the only child I was meant to nurture.
               He has a beautiful, natural talent for playing the piano, a
            photographic memory and continues to blow me away with
            his insatiable hunger for knowledge. Even as a child he chose
            to watch “How It’s Made” over every other children’s program.
            I am constantly learning so much from this man. He is a good
            teacher and wise beyond his years.
               Keldon and I have a very special bond and I’m extremely
            blessed to have this bright, sensitive soul in my life. I will
            always be his mother and biggest cheerleader, but I am proud
            to say that now, I am also his friend and a kindred spirit. I am
            thrilled that he and his beautiful fiancé Kelly are actually our
            neighbours. We love hanging out with them and their amazing
            group of friends.
               My great hope is that Keldon will read this book and not
            only gain a further understanding of his mother’s early life, but
            also come to understand the complexities and challenges of
