Book Cover & Preview Text
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.” Helen Keller
Another door can be opened for us if we are willing to take the chance to step inside. As I am on this journey of writing this book about Kim’s life and her death, it feels as though many wonderful doors are opening for me to help others that have been on a similar journey in their lives. I have learned more from all that I have shared with you the reader about Kim’s life than I ever thought I would have been able to share. Sometimes God just takes the things that Satan would like to use to destroy us and turn them around and use them for His glory. That is my story, that He will take my pain and turn it around so that others can know that they can go on and take life’s experiences out into those places where they can be of help to hurting people.

About the Book
April 4, 2002, a day that will forever be in our hearts. On this day we lost our beautiful daughter Kimberly Dawn. My heart aches as I never had the chance to say “Goodbye” to my Kim and the chance to understand how she died. As a student at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico she had completed her Master’s Degree in elementary education in 1996. Something happened from that point on that we will never fully understand. Kim entered a world of drugs that changed her life and ours forever. Between the years 1998-2002 our family suffered through many circumstances that we never could have imagined. This book will share the heart of a mother who would like others to know that you can “survive.” The way I have survived is my faith in God. With his help I am living on and telling my daughter’s story and sharing poetry that Kim wrote that will touch the heart of the reader. Enjoy the book and use it as a tool to help others.
