About the Author

Ted Pariza is the guy who wrote, "The Waiting Room". You know, that's a short story you can read after you look up 'Ted Pariza' on your computer using almost any search engine. In the process, you'll see the story is his concept of what it is like when one dies and passes over. Once passed over, he tells what he finds and what he sees. What kind of experience he has before being reborn into another unspoiled 'fresh and clean' life.

This book is written by the same guy, but this book is about the good and bad experiences had by a fictious aquaintance as a child to an adult and all the way through life. The Book covers seven decades. The mystery of life and all that's scared, as it pertains to the main character, are told therein. Life holds lots of secrets untold and sometimes forgotten.

Ted Pariza lives in Houston, Texas where both his ex-wifes, his three children, his nine grand children and his (so far) five great grand children all reside.
