Hello Dahlings!

Woah! July just flew by, and we are finishing up the month strong. As many of you know my book Everlonging Desires drops on Monday, and I am super excited!

This book is very special to me because it deals with a lot of complicated issues that sometimes we don't think about as couples. We take for granted sometimes our significant other is always going to be there.

I wanted to express the trauma that people go through when they lose the person they had planned on spending the rest of their life with. Most times later in life, we are unable to move on with our lives in fear of disrespecting or replacing that person.

Our best friend had lost her husband two years ago and they were everything to each other. We should all strive to be so close to our spouse, and realize that pettiness and arguments do not matter. We should embrace the time we have with them, and love without limits, because unfortunately one day for all of us, we may face this very situation.

I wanted to portray a young couple, who when faced with losing their best friend in life. This is just something we don't expect and after speaking with a man who lost his fiance in the aids crisis I was inspired to write a story of how sometimes love can strike twice.

For myself, I know there will never be anyone for me besides Willy, my husband. He is my best friend. But, being so young this man was facing a lifetime of pain and loneliness. It wasn't until he decided to grant himself closure to that painful event that he was able to love again.

I hope you will enjoy Skyler's story, and that it provokes you to think about your own relationship. Let's not be petty, who cares if he didn't bring the trash cans in, or put the dishes on the counter instead of in the sink. You are with him or her forever. Forgive and live.

With all of my Love,
Daniel Elijah Sanderfer
