DEDICATED TO MY LATE WIFE DEBORAH REILLY. JANUARY 09, 1954 - MARCH 15, 2023 |
 CHRISTMAS 2012 |
I still say I love you, but now there's no reply. I always feel your presence as if you never left my side.
|
As long as I live, you will live. As long as I live, you will be remembered. As long as I live, you will be loved.
| My mind still talks to you. My heart still looks for you. My soul knows you are at peace.
I am thankful for having had you, but I still miss and love you so much. |
On March 15th 2023 my beautiful wife Deborah Reilly lost her battle with Interstitial Lung Disease and left this realm of existance. On April 6th 2023 I began this website to honor her memory and our beautiful marriage and life together. It is very difficult carrying on without her by my side and I struggle every minute with her loss. This is a closed membership website; built for our friends and family only. Any and all applications for membership other than friends and family will not be approved. |
I decided to gather all that I could find of Deborah's stories and writings, and publish them along with six of the short stories that I have written. Deborahs passion and empathy should not disappear into the void. She had such an intuitive and empathetic way with people and giving them advice, and help with their problems. Thank you for reading this and I hope that you will buy my book.

A Vessel of Memory & Myth
Published: November 21, 2025
Words: 62,595
In silence, memory and emotion anchor.
This collection is a living archive—an offering of two voices bound by love, memory, and mythic clarity.
Assembled with reverence and intention, it honors the distinct cadence of each author while preserving the emotional truth that connects them.
Deborah’s writings appear first, untouched in their quiet power. They explore thresholds of transformation and emotional depth—not to escape the world, but to deepen its meaning. Her voice remains a guiding presence throughout this work.
Terry’s writings follow, marking a new creative chapter. These pieces are strictly separated from his trilogy, The Echoes of Silence, and reflect a fresh narrative direction. They echo cycles of silence, inheritance, and renewal—ritualized through modular formatting and emotional cadence.
This volume is a vessel—carrying two voices across memory, myth, and transformation. Before the stories begin, we pause to honor the authors whose words shape this offering.
A Pause In The Forest
The path winds deeper now. You have walked through memory; through stories shaped by Deborah’s quiet clarity, her fierce compassion, her gift for seeing the sacred in the everyday. Her voice has led you through branches of family, society, and soul.
Now, the trees hush. The air changes.
This is a pause, not an ending. A moment to listen. To feel the echo of what has come before, and to prepare for what waits ahead.
Beyond this clearing, another voice begins to speak. Mythic, searching, resonant with the ache of stars and the weight of silence. These are stories that reach outward, even as they carry the imprint of what has been lost.
Step gently. The forest remembers.
