The idea of the book, was not there originally. It was something that started to grow during the years after I lost her. At first they were simple phrases on paper, memories and lines, in order to deal with her passing.

Not knowing that this would be the beginning of a story in which I was confronted about my own past but also given the opportunity to receive help on how to enlighten myself and grow spiritually in this fast moving world.
