About this title

Synopsis

From a father's loving memorial to a bright, beloved child

A moving, firsthand portrait of Winifred Vida, a child full of curiosity, faith, and wonder. This intimate recollection blends family memory with quiet passages about nature, daily life, and the small moments that linger after loss. The book invites readers to share in a daughter’s world—her questions, her laughter, and the way her spirit remains present in the corners of a family’s life.

Two short chapters of memory frame a life that shines through simple scenes: walks in the woods, museum visits, and tender conversations that reveal a child’s awe and a family’s deep love. The text balances warmth and sorrow, offering comfort for readers who have known grief and those who seek a heartfelt, humane portrait of a life cut short.

• A child's view of wonder: nature, imagination, and the small miracles of everyday life.
• Tender family moments: shared stories, prayers, and the warmth of home.
• A record of love and loss: how memory sustains us after someone dear passes away.
• Reflections on faith, mortality, and the mystery of what remains.

Ideal for readers who appreciate memoirs that honor memory with honesty and grace, and for anyone seeking solace in intimate family history.
