Phyllis And Me: A Remembrance
by Carol A. Watson

Phyllis And Me is a collection of stuff of the heart that celebrates both life and death. It's a glimpse into the lives and souls of a mother and daughter and the many ways a maternal love is never lost even after death. Phyllis And Me is a personal narrative, a collection of memories that, even though about simplistic daily events, reveal the complex yet subtle way those events shape the life and character of a child. The crux, however, is only realized when the child becomes an adult and reflects on those memories. Additional parts of the book detail the unique ways in which my mother was celebrated at her wake and funeral. Those who have read it say the book is humorous, compelling, beautifully moving, uplifting, intelligent and honest.

It is a hopeful collection of remembrances and feelings, a testament to the realization that everyday events with special people are what make the world go around and give life its sparkle. Phyllis And Me is a heartfelt account of the discreet magic available to us all, everyday.

Some who have read Phyllis And Me say it's helped them heal their own personal loses. Others whose parents are still alive claim it's gotten them closer together. Although the specific events are personal to me, the connection and relevance is universal and available in each individual reader's life.

May you delve into the heart of this book and find, relive and renew your own connection to those cherished loved ones who add sparkle to your life.
Sincerely.......
Carol Watson
