Book Reviews of Always, and Two Forevers, and Five DaysBook Review: A Message Just for Me Summary: 5 Stars
Is life a series of unrelated coincidences? Unpredictable events we routinely choose to ignore? Is the notion of life after death just an opinion? That's what self-proclaimed skeptic Warlen Bassham thought before he met Carol. If you have ever loved enough to let go, "Always, and Two Forevers, and Five Days" is a must read account of a man's unconditional love for a woman whose life and death will touch your emotions. Their story will ignite your faith and comfort your soul.
In this lovingly crafted memoir, Warlen Bassham, documents the life of the amazing woman who, in a few short years, enriched and transformed him with her love and deep sense of family. Hers is a journey peppered with disappointments that would have crushed less resilient individuals and yet she overcame them with courage, determination, and her trademark dignity.
The author gently walks the reader through a five-day emotional rollercoaster of when he learned his beloved Carol had cancer. The diagnosis hadn't yet sunk in when he was slammed into the wall with the news that there was no time or hope for a cure. Carol had five days to live.
Five days.
In spite of his anger and disbelief, Bassham was determined to be strong for Carol's sake. Rarely leaving her side, he struggled to fit all that needed to be said and done into a lifetime that was no longer measured in days or years. However, the story doesn't stop there.
Hours before her death, unexplained "coincidences" began to occur. How did a young grandson, spared of the truth about his grandmother's condition, know she was going to heaven? How was it possible for a mother's and daughter's thoughts to connect over the miles at exactly the same time? Messages of hope emerge from the most common and unlikely situations. One amazing, unexplained happenstance after another gives a grieving husband comfort in the knowledge that love knows no barriers (including death) and the soul lives on to fulfill the promise of eternal life.
