I can see that I am writing too much as I type as fast as I think and could go on forever.īut god bless you again, Helen and all of the beautiful voices I go to sleep with every night and sometimes wake up out of a bad dream just to listen to them again.

He taught me and my brother so much about right and wrong that I could never forget him and consider him one of the heroes of my life. I will see my grand 'papa' as we used to call him for he lived to a very old age and I was 33 years old when he passed away. Although it may not be the voices I hear but just their presence and this leaves me with a sense that when I go to God I will go to them also. Many times, as I am a widower, I can hear the voices of those I love all around me, as I live alone in the home in which I grew up. I guess what I loved most about the story was it's blending in of the love of God and the fact that He is with us and listening always. I have listened to it before but the second listening was even better because I have come to love your voice (but please do not confuse what I say as romantic love because I am sure that any woman with a voice like yours must have a husband who loves her voice as much as I do). May God bless you again, for your wonderful reading of a great and beautiful story.

They are brought there by the promise of the advertised 'wisteria and sunshine', but they find so much more than they bargained for, as the place transforms them and changes their lives in ways they could never have expected.
