When a Door Closes... Paula Sharb

As Gabriella sat up, awakening from a short nap, she spoke gently to Daniel. It soon turned frantic as the realization that Daniel was dead in her arms began to take hold of her mind. As her mind split and began to argue within itself, unwilling to accept the lifeless body she embraced, it became the last two hours of peaceful sleep Gabriella would experience for years to come. So come along and feel what is served between every line, every life ending, heartbreaking, rule defying sometimes "kiss my ass" word...the enduring spirit of Daniel which became the very essence of setting Gabriella's spirit free to begin a journey of living life and not merely existing in it as it passed by. Living a secure life of the rich and famous Gabriella chose a path which many did not understand. One that allowed her to feel and tell the tale so that by the end of this journey, then just maybe, someone, somewhere, will be set free to feel, to live, to laugh, to love, on their terms. To follow the road of their choosing, despite its uncharted course. So take a journey down a road less traveled and feel the pain, all of the pain, because the only way to feel pleasure, true ultimate pleasure, one must feel the gut wrenching, heart breaking, breath taking --- pain. So come along...take a journey through every page and feel...feel for all you are worth with this precious, unpredictable, always unexpected journey of a gift we know as life.
