"A "Gift" and a testament to love"
Jordan Raven had her first ghostly experience at the age of
four when her grandfather died. She didn't fully understand
the concept of death at that time, but she knew somehow
that he was in a better place. Later that night while she
slept, her grandfather visited her, she wasn't afraid; in
fact she smiled and welcomed him. Her vision of him was
clear; there was a bright purplish white light that
surrounded him and he wore a white suit that was so bright
that it appeared blue. He floated towards her with his arms
extended, and a smile on his face. When he was just about
four feet in front of her, he spoke to her and the words he
said, she would never forget for as long as she
lived. "Take care of your mother Jordan. You will face some
very difficult moments in your lifetime, but I'm here to
tell you that I'll be here for you. I love you." Then he
disappeared. Jordan experienced several other visits from friends and
family members who had "passed on" all appearing in dreams
within a few years of each other. Some spoke to her while
others didn't. Those who did speak told her that they were
doing well but the strangest thing of all was, they all
repeated what her grandfather had said years ago. "You will
have some difficult moments in your lifetime." When Jorie first met Martin he was a sophomore in college
and she was a freshman. He stood out amongst all of the
other guys on campus and she remembered the first time that
she looked into his emerald green eyes thinking how
confident and friendly he looked. Almost every morning they
would arrive in the college parking lot around the same
time. He'd look over at her as if he knew she'd be there.
He'd smile and then run off to catch up with his friends.
Then one morning he finally gotten up the nerve to approach
her and ask her out on a date, she accepted, and from that
day on Jordan and Martin became inseparable... soul mates!
They fell in love and dated all through college, brought
their first house together, and were talking about
marriage. Whenever Martin had to leave to go out in the
morning he would leave Jorie a little love note on the
windowsill telling her how much he loved her. Everything
was right with their world until that tragic night in
October. It was a night that should have been one of
celebration; a night that should have been one of the
happiest nights of their lives. Instead it would be the
night that turned Jorie's whole world upside down. In the
blink of an eye two lives are changed forever! Ms. Leese has written a beautiful and haunting love story
that draws you in from the first chapter to the last page
turned. I can't compliment her enough on a job well done.
Her story had me riveted, and eager through my tears to
finish. Yes tears that I could not help but shed in joy as
well as sadness. If you are in the mood for a truly
touching and heart felt read, then I invite you to
read, "NOTES ON THE WINDOWSILL" The best way to describe
this story is to say that it's a "Gift" and a testament to
love. It deserves a re-read and will be added to my keeper
shelf. I look forward to reading more from this talented
author! Charlene Smith © Copyright September 2002
