This is a true story of love and loss. The story of a beautiful soul, tormented by a self-perception that was created in a troubled childhood, and raised in a culture of self destructive behavior. A soul granted a chance at life and light and love.
"Tawni picked a spot, near a piece of driftwood, and we sat down, facing the Ocean. I was silent, I wanted to know what she was thinking, and, truthfully, I just enjoyed the sound of her voice. It's difficult to explain... sometimes Hope just hits you like a baseball bat, and you stagger a bit before the fall."
"If you are a Believer, and you believe that you are going to Heaven, then your final thought is of a happy place, and that final thought is the one that you “remember”… the one you are left with as you leave this life. If you are Believer, and you believe that you are damned, and that you are going to Hell, then your last thought is an evil one, of an ugly place, and that is the thought you will carry into eternity. If you are a Believer, and you think you are going to Purgatory, I think it may be like this… Eternity is really long, and the Universe is really big. And I think you could wander for eternity through the afterlife, hearing the sounds of a really awesome party nearby…. But you just can’t seem to find it. You could wander a long time. But what if you are a “Non-Believer”? What then? I think it will be like it was before you were born. And what do remember of that time?"
