​A Love That Endures: Remembering Regina

It’s been seven years since my beloved Regina passed away, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. Our marriage, like any other, had its ups and downs, but the love we shared was a constant unshakeable force in my life. Regina was my muse, my partner, and the inspiration behind the trilogy "Tracks of Our Tears".

Love is a complex, multifaceted emotion. It’s the joy of shared laughter and comfort in silent understanding. It’s the strength to face challenges together and the willingness to grow and evolve as individuals. Regina and I experienced all these facets, navigating the inevitable trials and tribulations of married life. Through it all, her presence was a beacon of unwavering support and unconditional love, of which I was delighted to reciprocate. 

In my novels, the love stories of my characters are deeply rooted in my experiences with Regina. Marissa and Sigmund’s relationship in "From Promise To Peril” is a reflection of the emotional journey I was fortunate enough to share with her. Their story mirrors our own, from the initial sparks of attraction to the deep, abiding connection that sustained us through life’s challenges.

Jan and Julia, the devoted couple in "Tracks Of Our Tears”, are not figments of my imagination but real people—Regina’s parents. Their love story, which I’ve woven into the fabric of my book, is a testament to enduring love. They faced numerous hardships, yet their commitment to each other never wavered. Their love was a shining example of devotion, surviving through thick and thin, and remaining strong until the end of their lives.

Reflecting on Regina’s impact on my life and work, I am reminded of the power of love to inspire, heal, and transform. Her memory lives on in the pages of my books and in the countless moments we shared. Regina’s love was a gift, one that continues to shape who I am and how I perceive the world.

As I wrote in my dedication, "On every page, Regina guided my fingers across the keyboard as surely as if she was standing at my shoulder, nudging me on when I had little understanding or knowledge of exactly where I was heading." I am forever grateful to have found Regina and that she chose to share her life with me.
