After much prayer and meditation, I felt led by God to write about my journey through life with Jesus Christ. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I was one of eight children, seven girls, and one boy. I grew up in a Catholic home with Catholic priests attending our Sunday dinners. As part of a large family, I experienced love, sharing, caring, and teamwork and was never lonely. I became good friends with Jesus Christ when I was fourteen sitting in St. Mary's church. I gave my heart to Him. He took Bill and me on a unique journey. Bill and I were married in our early twenties and blessed with four children, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. They are my pride and joy. This book is about an exciting and challenging life of a husband and wife who traveled with their friend Jesus Christ. Sometimes following His path took enduring faith and trust. He protected us through some strange and dangerous situations while living in Massachusetts. Before moving to Florida, Bill showed signs of Alzheimer's. This horrific disease was stealing his memory like a thief in the night. In Florida, Bill created a beautiful drawing of Jesus Christ as a gift for me. He experienced God, and God spoke to him. God told Bill He wanted him to give his drawing to people that God would put in our path. Bill called his drawing "God's Gift." God brought many spiritually loving people to us, and we gave them Bill's drawing. His drawing changed our lives and the lives of countless people. These are their stories; they are not coincidences but God's incidences. Sometimes when I asked God, "Why?" God told me He taught me lessons and made me strong in the valley. We obeyed God and followed His lead.
