mother and child 300x300 Reminded
Reminded of the

warm love of
a Mother and child
today next to
people whom reminded
me of my
Mother and I
having a shopping
day as the
Mother looks to
her husband stating,
“We need to
go spend money.”

They all laughed
outloud I heard
Ulta mentioned outloud
stating, “I am
not able to
go there. The
last time I
was there, my
Mother had brain
cancer; I want
that last shopping
memory to remain
right there, when
Mom said, “I am
buying this makeup
for you because
I know you
will love it
and I have
wanted to buy
it for you
for so very long.”

A gift, the
last gift from
my Mother was
for my face
bare minerals and
we bought two
kits while my
Brother was away
Mom stating, “It
is my money
anyway, he has
no say in
my purchases.” I
was afraid of
the aftermath, he
handled all the
cash, all her
funds. She had
no say in
many things towards
the very end
I never spoke of it
until today, my
Mother, she was
my mentor and
best friend; she
suffers cancer no
longer, yet patches
angel wings in
heaven today for
all to fly
be free; live
with love through
her wings designs
love still resides
always in my
heart for her
in the end
holding her hand
saying, “I love
you. It is
okay. You can
let go now.”
Only said to
give her peace
for she is
she was a
piece of my
peace; my soul.

    Thank you for this bit of beauty, Meg.

    Meg, memory as time goes on becomes beauty and it is what we find in every corner of our life, we suffer at first, hard and long, I know – but we replace it with the laughter we recall before the pain. Although people feel sorry for those in pain, it’s just as hard to watch someone you love suffer – and love never ends. Remember. It never ends. Always Hugs, Nancy

Biography of Meg Collins:

I began my journey as a writer approximately ten years ago at an Open Mic forum at Barnes and Noble. I became an advocate for cancer research when my Mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. I started writing my novel that month. It is now forty chapters and under editorial review with Leonard Greenberg. I showed my Mother my novel before her death. Her breakfast went cold that morning, and in my family, breakfast never went cold. My Mother did not say a word for fifteen minutes; engrossed in my work. When my Mother finally looked up at me, she stated, “I cannot believe how well written it is, Meg.” Before my Mother passed away, she told a family friend, “Make sure she keeps writing.” She gave me her blessing and knew I was born to be a dedicated writer. Since my Mother’s passing, I have had seven cancers in my family. I begin my volunteer work with my books in a local hospital, as a mentor, to aid sick children, in January 2011-2013.

My recent books:
Twinkle, Twinkle Starry Sky
My Magnum Opus

Upcoming books in 2011:
My eight book Arctic Series currently titled, "Rompy's Adventures.” This is about a polar bear and his journeys with arctic animals-the penguins, the snowy owl, the wise walrus, the snappy shark, the sled dogs, and many more arctic animals! My illustrator is Lorna Mack.

Mamada- A story of a beautiful child with many questions. She is being raised by her Mother. Her Father has never seen her. She looks up one day and asks, “Where is my Daddy?” A heartfelt story that captures the spirit of a parent playing two roles, both Mother and Father in one home. Hence, I titled the book, “Mamada,” meaning both Mother and Father. The child finds out how lucky she is, just to have one person who loves her to the moon and back. The moral is this-all you need is one person to love you, heart, mind, spirit, and soul in life.

I Painted in the Dark-A story of a five year old boy who paints in the dark. Is it a dream, or did he actually make a huge mess in his bedroom? The story unfolds in the book.

Her Road to Success-A story of a corporate business woman and her struggles to excel in the business industry, while being in a relationship with a man. She is tormented by her past, putting all her energy into her work. Beth, not remotely aware of what she is scarred by in her life, she emerges to find out who she really is and unravels the mysteries of her past.

A Co-Written book with Dr. Win Wenger on Effective Listening and the proper techniques and tools to use in a multitude of life situations.
