Felicity Forever

An harrowing odyssey of sacrifice, suffering and grief -- A triumph of faith, hope and love

About

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans. Waving farewelll to our homeland and our own beautiful  much coveted  two storied bungalow -- a jewell in the crown in that colony in order to be reunited  with our children and grand children  in Melbourne demanded great sacrifice  for Felicia  and myself.  That was to be the initial test of our faith.

We never imagined on one beautiful sunny day when everything seemed to be going our way,, that a. casual visit to the  hospital for a routine medical check would throw into chaos our exciting plans for that day; that it would mark the beginning of the most traumatic phase  of our lives; that it would signal the end of the wonderful times together, and with the spectre of Felicia's imminent untimely death, declared, shattering the vision we fostered of growing old together as ordinarily couples do.   

This book is a tribute to a very beautiful , brilliant, much beloved, gentle, woman, a memoir dedicated to Felicia, my wife  of almost sixty years of blissful marriage.. A true story interwoven with diabolical incursion and divine intervention.  


 

Praise for this book

I thought your memoir, Felicity Forever, was sad, but also lovely. Felicity would have been proud of you, after all, she did say you should write a book.

-- "I could tell it was written from the heart and this comes through in your work.”

Thanks Ivan... I am reading the memoir. Beautiful!" .
