Between Two Worlds
Bok av Mary Lia
Before the summer of 2003 I never would have imagined anything like this could happen; that cancer would touch our family - take my child. We were ordinary people; nice house, dog, cat. I loved being a Mom. We played: marching band and dress up, danced in the rain, stomped barefoot in puddles, finger painted, baked bread and cookies, rode bikes, read stories, built forts and snowmen. Life was busy. There was school; homework done at the kitchen table, plays, concerts , class trips and later on dances. Brownies, Little League and Youth Soccer. My Mom told me one day, "Enjoy it. These will be some of the best times of your life." How right she was.
This is the story of my daughter Juliette who passed from cancer at age nineteen; told in three parts through Juliette's journals and poems covering the last seven years of her life, part 2 consist of my thoughts and recollections of memorable times that affected me most, be it triumph or tragedy, frolic or fright. Part 3 details the time after my daughter's passing when I hired a medium in an effort to communicate with the other side. I know in my heart Juliette is alive and existing elsewhere. I hope to invoke similar journeys of discovery in those who have lost a child. Juliette told me through a medium, "I'm not dead, not really dead. Not like people think". Death brings an end to our physical bodies but the spirit/soul lives on. Now, Juliette flies "Between Two Worlds".
