A Lifetime of Forever and Always — Mary Eileen Davis

Claire literally had it all! Life was perfect in her world! The auburn-haired beauty had the perfect family; a successful career; and a handsome, devoted and loving husband. She was sure that nothing could rock her boat and interrupt her picture-perfect world. With their kids away at college, Claire and Daniel had their whole future in front of them. They were eager to begin slowing down and enjoying the second half of their life together, enjoying all the plans they'd made for themselves. Blissfully and safely ensconced in their 'happily ever ever,' the college sweethearts were sure they'd be together and in love forever. But, life dealt the couple a cruel and surprising blow when they learned that none of us is guaranteed a promise of 'tomorrow.' Lost without the love of her life, and barely able to put one foot in front of the other, Claire certainly has no desire to ever love again. Lost and lonely, Claire must learn to somehow cope in her new life without Daniel. Her journey takes her from her family home on Florida's coast to the mountains of Virginia. As she painfully moves on, Claire continues to find ways in which Daniel has planned and provided for her life without him. But, her biggest surprise comes when she learns that Daniel has even 'delivered' on his promise of 'forever.' Claire's story is proof that 'forever love' really does exist and that love lives on in all of us!
