Was, wenn deine Liebe dir jeden Samstag zulächelt? Traust du dich, zurückzulächeln? Anna und Phillip wagen diesen Schritt, weiter scheinen sie aber nicht zu kommen. Doch als sie sich eines Tages unverhofft gegenüberstehen, geht es auf einmal um alles: ihre Vergangenheit, die ihnen nachjagt; eine Zukunft, in der Liebe eher eine Hoffnung denn Gewissheit ist. Vor allem ist da aber eine Frage: Reicht ein Samstagslächeln, um ein neues Leben zu beginnen?

As we all know, time waits for no one and has indeed marched on. So, one day in Spring 2015 I began what I anticipated to be an easy job; selecting, discarding, collating, editing, some rewriting and collecting all on the computer. It wasn't an easy job. Still, I trudged on and the result rests in your hands. This is in effect; Painting with Words-my words. *** I have learned that, despite my family losses, facing my own mortality several times, disappointments and tears, I have been blessed with miracles, namely my children, their father, my loving parents and grandparents. And even though God had other plans for one of my little girls and she was joined in heaven by another of my little ones who arrived too early, this testing of my Faith has strengthened it.
