How do you thank someone for giving you the gift of life? Not just life in the sense of existence; life in the sense of essence, spirit, vitality and soul. And how do you thank them, if they are no longer here? This past January marked the fourteenth anniversary of the author’s mother’s death. To lift her spirits, she decided to treat this event as the fourteenth anniversary of her mother’s life. In Ireland, where her mother’s family is from, a traditional Irish wake was more of a party than a funeral. It consisted of the gathering of family and friends, plenty of food and drink to intoxicate the senses, and the absolute revelry of the departed life. Although this tradition is not as common as it once was, the author decided to revive its philosophy.

About the Author:
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Melinda Marian Ferreira developed an early love of literature and poetry when she discovered the works of New Englanders such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Robert Frost. Profoundly inspired by the sense of connection she felt within their words, she was inspired to write from a very early age. A firm believer that the power of such expression transcends time and place, Melindaa€s influences are based in writings that cultivate human connection and understanding, whether through stories, poetry, or song. She lives with her husband, Chris, on the Seacoast of New Hampshire.
