Richard’s Stories from the Heart

About the Book

This book tells two stories close to my heart. Rylan’s story started with the sleepover of a boy who would not go to sleep easily. To keep him tucked in bed, I started to tell him a story created with vivid imagination. And so his ordinary monster truck became a fun, big, muddy monster truck story. “I Miss You More at Christmastime” is for people who miss someone, whether during Christmas or at any event that makes them remember one person who played a very special role in their lives. They may no longer be with us physically, but in our hearts, they linger forever. For me, it is my nan whom I miss the most. For she was not just my nan; she was like my mother too. As Mrs. Brown’s Boys quote says, “You can be lonely in a room full of people when the one person you’re missing isn’t there.” This made me realize that it is perfectly okay to feel sad and miss someone at times, but their memories never perish, regardless.
