Sometimes we prepare and prepare for a requested visit from a departed loved one. But it just doesn’t happen. We don’t know why, but we accept it as God’s will.
How serendipity when the opposite happens!
My husband sat on the couch, watching a little TV yesterday. During a commercial, he turned his head and looked to his right. There sat his sister, who left us many years ago. She smiled at him, looking like the cat that swallowed the canary!
What a comfort for the man who just recently lost his last living sibling and only weeks before, he first born child! This sister who passed about a decade ago, came back and comforted her brother. It’s as if she assured him that, “There is life after death!”

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them.
After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson.
As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose.
Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian.
She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers.
Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
