<br />
I don't think healing is the exact word I want, but it will serve. One never really gets over loss, but you do learn to live with that black void that tends to follow you around. It lurks like a ghost, just on the edge of your emotions, ready to reveal itself on a moment's notice, blindsiding you with the weight of the grief you thought you had come to terms with.<br />
<br />
This year the ghosts of the past have been lingering more than I would wish. My mother, the last of my childhood first family, passed away April 15th, 2016. She had been in decline since 2011 after a stroke. At times, she didn't know who I was, at other times, she was back in the past—back to her early teen and adult years. I don't know who she thought I was, but I could always tell if she knew me or not based on her reaction to me. If she didn't know me, she was oh so polite, thanking me for whatever I did, etc. If she knew me, it was more of a attitude that would order me about, tell me to go get or to do. No stranger politeness. And that was okay, because I knew when she knew :)<br />
<br />
Toward the end, she had several more strokes and could not talk or really move much. But I think, when I looked into her eyes, she knew me.<br />
<br />
I hope so anyway. And I hope she is with Ron and Dad.<br />
<br />
Below are a few details we shared about Mom at her funeral, though it is very hard to honor a life in a few short paragraphs. I do hope to write a book about growing up...mainly because I want to get things down, before I forget too!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman";">-------------</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">June was born
June 10<sup>th</sup>, 1923 in Salem Ridge (Germantown), Kentucky to Ira Disher
Hicks and Carrie Kemper Woodward. The youngest of three siblings, she often
spoke fondly of her early years growing up on the farm and of her memories of
family and friends. Her sister, Hazel was a quiet, soft-spoken girl who preferred
books and music to romping and adventure. June suffered through her piano
lessons, always eager to join her older brother Norman on adventures or playing
games outside when they had time away from chores. June was a bit of a tomboy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">In later years,
June's tomboy personality found an outlet in watching baseball, football, and
basketball on television along with the occasional wrestling match or roller
derby. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">June learned the
meaning of working hard and hard work from her father. She recalled, once when
she was quite young, maybe four, the whole family was working the fields --
they grew tobacco as well as had dairy cows, etc. -- and June sat down in the
fields and proclaimed she was tired. Her father got off the wagon, paddled her
behind and sent her right back to work. She said after that, she never ever
said she was tired again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">During WWII, she
left the farm and moved to Dayton, Ohio where she became one of the many women
answering the call for war effort workers. As one of the "Soldiers Without
Guns," she worked for NCR (The National Cash Register Company) assembling
bomber engines. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">It was while
working at NCR that June met Grover Noe. He started working there shortly after
returning home from the war.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">On March 27<sup>th</sup>,
1948, June married Grover Cleveland Noe in Lexington, Kentucky. June then had
to quit NCR because, at the time, the company had a policy about married women
working there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">She discovered
shortly thereafter, that she wasn't cut out to be a stay-at-home mom/wife, and
actually enjoyed working outside the home. So, June went job-hunting. She had a
short stint working for a factory that sewed garments for a retail store,
before being hired by The McCall Pattern Company in Dayton, Ohio as a
handfolder (folding patterns by hand). She worked at McCall's until the early
1960s, when Grover bought a full service Texaco service station in Phoenix, AZ
and moved the family west. Grover's brother Bill and family moved with them.
Bill worked for Grover in AZ. The station was called, "Grover Noe's
Texaco." June ran the office, and Grover ran the service bays/pumps, etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">In 1967, they
sold the station and moved back to Dayton, and June was rehired by McCall's. In
1970, McCall's moved to Manhattan, KS and June came along as a trainer for the
handfolding department. She eventually became supervisor over handfolding,
holding that title until her retirement. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">June was an avid
walker, sports fan, loved puzzles of all kinds, chocolates, and animals. Later
in life, when an ailing hip kept her from walking, she'd take great pleasure in
watching the squirrels and bird feed in the backyard. As a child, she had many
pets including a squirrel she'd befriended. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Before leaving
AZ, Ron and Sheri were given a large white rabbit they named Snowball. June
taught the rabbit to follow her around the house and to actually use a
newspaper for its business. Snowball and June's <span style="color: black;">Chihuahua,
Peaches, became reluctant friends in competition for June's attention. On the
move back to Ohio from AZ, both rabbit and dog traveled with the family,
claiming spots on the seats. At one restaurant stop, Snowball and Peaches
managed to get out of the station wagon and somehow made it inside the
restaurant and ran right to June at the table. Ron had to smuggle the rabbit
out under his shirt while June placed Peaches in her pocket. Animals loved her.</span></span></div>

<strong>A Chance She Can’t Miss</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
In 1939, time-traveling, Appalachian farm woman Florie LeBeau fell in love with an 18th-century frontiersman, and vowed to cross time to be with him again. Then war broke out, forcing her to wait four years to travel back two hundred. But when she arrives in 1756, she finds her frontiersman doesn’t know her, Nazi soldiers occupy her historic home, and her only friend a mysterious dog who just might be their spy.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>A Tale He Can’t Believe</strong><br />Ousted from his home by strange Hessian soldiers, fur trapper Zeke Allen can’t believe his luck when his new hunting dog brings him a woman. Knowledgeable in the ways of pioneer life, the lovely Miss LeBeau could make the perfect wife, if not for her crazy tales of time travel, a club called the Saturn Society, and an impossible war in the twentieth century she insists she comes from—and to which she must return.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>A Predicament They Can’t Escape</strong><br />Slowly, Zeke begins to believe Florie’s crazy stories as his fondness grows into a love she returns. But the men she calls Nazis tear her away from him, plunging her into a future where she must deliver information that could change the outcome of the war. Finding her way back to Zeke proves difficult. Harder still: convincing others of the truth–and saving her canine rescuer and herself from the Saturn Society, the very people she thought would protect her.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Readers who enjoy the Saturn Society won’t want to miss this standalone addition, while those new to the series will find this introduction an unusual time travel story rich in action, romance, and history.<br /><br />OK, I'm back. If you enjoyed Time's Fugitive, and wondered how Florie became Mrs. Allen, this is her story. If you haven't read Time's Fugitive (or any of my books), no worries! This story stands on its own, and makes a perfect introduction to the Saturn Society.<br /><br />Like I mentioned above, you can preorder the ebook this week and get it for $2.99. <a href="http://jenpowell.com/all-books/times-best-friend/" target="_blank">(<span style="color: #2a6664;">Click HERE to preorder</span></a> from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo Books, or Google Play Books).

These are some new pre-mades I created and are searching for a story home! Drop me a note if you're interested. The animal in The Calling can be traded out for a wolf, a bear, etc. at no additional charge. Each set above is $75 for both E and paper. The Western ones are $75 each set or if you want both, you get a small savings of $10 off the duel sets.

There's something very hurtful, like a bubble bursting in your heart feeling when your mom no longer knows who you are. But you go on, and you deal the best you can, tuck away that hurt and save it for those moments when you just need a good cry.<br />
<br />
A little history: My mom had a stroke May 12th of 2011. She's 88. She was already suffering small signs of forgetfulness but was able to function and as long as her life had a routine, she just did her thing and was happy. She has lived in an apartment in my home for over 27 years now, so she was never really alone. Dad died in 2005. That's when Mom started to have problems walking. Joint pain, etc. so her activities were curtailed. As I look back, I think that was the beginning of the state she's in now. The start and breaking her hip while trying to rehab from the stroke probably was the final blow. <br />
<br />
One of the sayings Mom used to greet visitors with (I say had as she no longer says it) was "Who are you!" It was a joke, sort of a little reminder that maybe someone hadn't visited in a while. We'd sort of joke that one of these days she's going to say it, and mean it! I'm saddened to say it is no longer a joke. Between the stroke and the hip surgery and all the meds they had/have her on...she really no longer knows who I am on any given day. I say any given day because sometimes she looks at me and smiles and I can see in her eye she knows me but those moments are few and far between.<br />
<br />
Today was a "Who are you?" sort of day, and she meant it. Maybe next visit, Mom will be there instead.<br />
<br />
The mother I knew is no longer the woman I see. I no longer recognize the woman I visit. She's been stolen away. I think it a cruel irony that the body goes on when the mind refuses to follow. Dementia and alzheimer rob from us all.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Mom and Dad on their wedding day, March, 1948 - One of my favorite photos of the two.<br />
<br />
And one of the few photos of dad she still recognizes!<br />

Anyone have an opinion on this?<div><br />
</div><div>I tend to lean toward the belief that they exist, in some form. It's the little girl in me, I guess. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm sort of inclined to go with the unaware ghostly scenes or replays people speak of seeing as more akin to time overlapping or crossing...like a wheel spinning in time...our present is the hub that all other times are linked, and sometimes the wheel spins either too fast or too slow. The spoke speeds get out of sync, some are slower and some are now faster and the faster ones overtake the slower ones, and for just a moment you get a look into the past, or maybe even the future. </div><div><br />
</div><div>That might explain a lot of sightings of oddities in the past. Imagine sitting around the chuck wagon on a bright night and suddenly you see a jet soaring across the sky? Hmmm, I see a UFO tale in the making.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyway, then I believe there are real ghosts, as in aware of you and its surroundings and they linger. Who knows why. Unfinished business, tragic death, the opinions are many.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Have you ever had a ghostly encounter?</div><div><br />
</div><div>I think I have. It was right after my dad died. For several days before and several after the funeral, I would get a sense that Dad was near and my dogs would suddenly just sit down and look up as if looking at someone standing over them, and they'd wag their tails.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The night after we buried dad, I was awaken by my phone ringing. I think it was about 1 a.m. When I answered it, there was nothing but static. I kept saying hello, hello, and then, just as I went to hang up, as if from very far away I heard my name. It was my Dad's voice! So, yes, I tend to believe :)</div><div><br />
</div><div>Now, on a purely promotional side...I'll be a part of a ghost program this October. Details below. Hope to see some of you there!</div><div><br />
