Pour yourself a drink and walk the gangplank into the adventures of George Jackson, a retired naval officer and master mariner. Engrossing, irreverent, and full of life, I Didn’t Make Admiral is a collection of stories told with love, self-awareness, honesty, and a great sense of humour. George comes of age on the West Coast of Canada in the 1940s, finds his English rose while serving with the British Navy, introduces their children to the freedom of the ocean and islands, and does another 27,000 nautical miles under sail in his later years. With light, lively prose, this memoir gives you a taste of the navy and family life during the twentieth century set against the backdrop of privilege, poverty, and social position. Whether he was sailing over the waves in a ship or beneath them in a submarine, George’s lifelong affair with the sea and deep appreciation of family, friends and country come through on every page. George never did make Admiral—but along the journey he learned that was never really the point.
A page-turner in the most exquisite sense, this book of over 160 portraits expresses the emotive beauty and grace of the human face. Documentary photographer Alison Wright traveled to every continent to capture the diversity of the human tribe, from toddlers to those who've lived a lifetime, and from South America to Africa, Asia, and points in between. Some of the people photographed are privileged, some live ordinary lives, and others live close to the land and in communities that may not last another generation. Collectively, these surprising studies of the human face remind us of our common bond and the inherent dignity in being ourselves.
This book is the story of Bill and Rita. Their life together, the business they started, and their travels around the world.
Robert Morris II recorded eight hours of interviews with his father, Robert Morris, MD (1904-1990), from which he drafted an autobiography and presented it to his dad on his 85th birthday. Until Dr. Morris’ death 15 months later, they collaborated to correct and add to the original memories. Dr. Morris’ career was unique in several ways: He dropped out of medical school twice, returning to farming, then vowed that he’d become a doctor or die. The third time in medical school, he led his class most quarters. Marrying and nurse and settling in the village of Medina (pop. 400) in 1935, his practice and reputation—especially as a diagnostician—grew until his death. He made home visits extending to five counties, the last doctor to do so in this area, delivering some 2000 babies in the home, while also serving in four hospitals. He was a devout Christian and lay leader in his church. Two of his daughters married doctors, two others became career teachers who also married teachers, and his son had a varied career, ending as a writer. Dr. Morris tells both painful and humorous stories about his life.

I’ll Carry You My Child I just remember praying so silently, “Dear Jesus, will you please take my trembling hand?” Lord, can’t you see I’m losing all of my courage? I’m weak, my legs are shaking, and I can barely stand. I know that you see this door in front of me; my precious daughter is resting in peace on the other side. I am just so afraid of seeing what I most want to see, “Lord, Do you think, this time, you could carry me inside?” Then Jesus said, “My child you must have forgotten, for this surely isn’t the very first time. You’ve had other troubling times in your life, as I did then, I’ll carry you now, and you will be just fine.” I can’t tell you this won’t be painful, for it will be, there will be things that you won’t want to see. But someday even painful memories become cherished, and they’ll remain “deep, in the heart of you and me.” Don’t you remember the day that you followed me child, as we walked lazily along in the sand? There was only “one set of footprints” then, don’t you know, “my child, I’ll carry you again?” 18 MARY J. BOOMHOWER Did You See The Angels? Danni, “Did you see the angels hovering near, and did you ask them to please go away?” “Did you tell them you would go another time, but that you just couldn’t go that day?” Danni, “Did you tell them you were on your way home, and that I was counting the minutes to see you?” “Did you tell them your new life had barely begun, and that you still had so many things to do?” Danni, “Did you tell them, that you really loved “The Lord,” and you would gladly go to Heaven someday?” “Did you tell them that we hadn’t said our good-byes, and that you just couldn’t leave me that way?” Danni, “Did you tell them that your mama wasn’t that strong, and that I just couldn’t bear losing my child?” “Did you tell them how we had to hug every day, and how much I would miss your smile?” MAMA’S HEART 19 Our Last Cuddle All signs of life were gone from you, when I first saw you that day. The pain that you had suffered was still on your face, and I wanted so badly to take it away. I needed to wrap my arms around you, and to give you lots of baby kisses. Just the way we did when you were small, and when you had all of those “near misses!” I gently blew kisses over your body, while I prayed that you safely made it “home.” Then I really thought I heard you say, “Mama, please cuddle me once more, while we’re alone.” I really wanted to lye down beside you, and wrap you up so tightly in my arms. I wanted assurance you’d never know pain again, I’d gladly lay there forever, protecting you from harm. I just went to my knees praying, Lord Jesus, will you please, please hold my hand? She had so much life left to live, Lord. I just don’t understand! Lord, you know I’ve lost my precious child, and I don’t know what to do. This is the hardest time in my life I’ve ever known. And now, Lord, I need so much help from you! 20 MARY J. BOOMHOWER Footprints On My Heart How very softly you tip-toed into my world, almost silently, and only a moment you stayed. I wasn’t prepared to let you go, and never dreamed you’d go away. I remember the day you took your first step, and how it made a footprint on my heart. I never thought your life would be so brief, or how soon we’d have to say good-bye and part. I used to think of the day you’d marry, and wonder about the man you’d choose. I prayed you’d find the right one, someone that would love you and always be true. Some say that God knows the day we are born, how long our stay on earth will be. If “He” knew from the beginning, I just wish ‘He” would have prepared me. MAMA’S HEART 21 What Would You Do Without Me? Please open up your big brown eyes; I just know if you’d try that you can. Can’t you feel me? I’m right here beside you! Oh my child, I can just barely stand. Please open your eyes, I know that you can. You can’t be gone, the dream wasn’t yours, it was mine! This was always a dream but I didn’t understand, but now you’re gone and you left me behind!

Title: INITIATING A LEGACY OF POEMS WAS DESIGNED TO: Provide a written record of my life- transforming decisions and experiences for my descendants. It is something that I wished had been available for me to assist in my positive self-development as a young man. Record the lessons on life learned from my father and his father to be passed down to future generations. To serve as a guide and template for others who desires to reflect upon their relationships and experiences. Encourage other men in refining and expanding their sense of purpose and destiny. Serve as an example to many of my cultural and spiritual brothers of the importance of recording a written legacy. Legacy Journal of Personal Transformation is an open-ended work of poems and other literature that will be used in the context of speaking with my offspring and their progeny to fill in the dash between the date on which I was born and the date on which I physically depart this dear earth. It is my intention to continue to record my personal life's journey, the significant events in my life and the decisions that resulted. May my vulnerability expressed in these writings assist my heirs and others in becoming more aware of the presence, plans, power and purpose of God. May they treasure the blessings of many past generations who have prayed for them and labored knowing that they would never see this day. 1. Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.
